Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt
in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Positi(- -I
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s
safety belt properly, see “Driver Position” earlier in
this section.
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt
-- except for one thing. If
you ever pull the shoulder portion of the belt out all the
way,
you will engage the child restraint locking feature.
If this happens, just let the belt
go back all the way and
start again.
Air Bag Systems
This part explains the frontal and side impact air
bag systems.
Your vehicle has air bags
-- a “Next Generation”
reduced-force frontal air bag for
the driver and another
“Next Generation” reduced-force frontal air bag for the
right front passenger. Reduced-force frontal air bags are designed
to help reduce the risk of injury from the force
of an inflating frontal air bag. But even these air bags
must inflate
very quickly if they are to do their job and
comply with federal regulations. Your vehicle may also
have side impact air bags
-- a side impact air bag for the
driver and another side impact air bag for the right
front passenger.
If your vehicle has side impact air bags, it will say
SRS
- SIDE AIRBAG on a label on the side of the
driver’s and right front passenger’s seat closest to
the door.
