The seat belt has an emergency locking
retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock
the seat belt only during a sudden stop or
impact. It also may lock if you pull the belt
across your body very quickly. If this hap-
pens, let the belt go back to unlock it, and
then pull the belt across your body more
slowly.

WARNING
• Those that are pregnant or sick/dis-
abled must also wear their seat
belts. However, in the event of a
collision, there is the danger of
heavy pressure focused on certain
body areas. Consultation with a
physician is recommended.
• For those that are pregnant, ensure
that the lap portion of the belt is as
low as possible across the pelvis,
avoiding to touch the abdomen.
Make sure that the shoulder strap
rests halfway between the shoulder
and the base of the neck, crossing
the chest and avoiding to touch the
abdomen.
