The Seat Belt System and How It Works
To unlatch the seat belt, push the
red PRESS button on the buckle.
Guide the belt across your body to
the door pillar. If the belt doesn't
retract easily, pull it out and check
for twists or kinks.
Advice for Pregnant Women
Protecting the mother is the best
way to protect her unborn child.
Therefore, a pregnant woman
should wear a properly-positioned
seat belt whenever she drives or
rides in a car.
When using the seat belt, remem-
ber to keep the lap portion as low as
possible (see page 7).
Each time you have a check-up,
ask your doctor if it's okay for you
to drive and how you should
position a lap/shoulder seat belt.
Seat Belt Maintenance
For safety, you should check the
condition of your seat belts regu-
larly.
Pull out each belt fully and look for
frays, cuts, burns, and wear. Check
that the latches work smoothly and
the lap/shoulder belts retract easily.
Any belt not in good condition or
not working properly should be
replaced.
If a seat belt is worn during a crash,
have your dealer replace the belt
and inspect the anchors for damage.
For information on how to clean
your seat belts, see page 163.
