We recommend that a pregnant

woman use a lap/shoulder belt

whenever possible. Remember to

keep the lap portion of the belt as

low as possible across your hips.
Pregnant women should also sit as

far back as possible from the

steering wheel or dashboard. This

will reduce the risk of injuries to

both the mother and her unborn

child that can be caused by a

crash or an inflating airbag.

Each time you have a checkup,

ask your doctor if it's okay for

you to drive.

Additional Safety

Precautions

Two people should never use

the same seat belt. If they do,

they could be very seriously

injured in a crash.

Do not put any accessories on

seat belts. Devices intended to

improve occupant comfort, or

reposition the shoulder part of a

seat belt, can severely

compromise the protective

capability of the seat belt and

increase the chance of serious

injury in a crash.

Do not place hard or sharp

objects between yourself and

an airbag. Carrying hard or

sharp objects on your lap, or

driving with a pipe or other

sharp object in your mouth, can

result in injuries if your airbags

inflate.

Keep your hands and arms

away from the airbag covers.

If your hands or arms are close

to the SRS covers in the center

of the steering wheel or on top

of the dashboard, they could be

injured if the airbags inflate.

Never let passengers ride in

the cargo area or on top of a

folded-down back seat. All

passengers must sit in locked,

upright seats and be properly

restrained by seat belts.

Do not attach or place objects

on the airbag covers. Any

object attached to or placed on

the covers marked "SRS

AIRBAG" in the center of the

steering wheel and on top of

the dashboard could interfere

with the proper operation of the

airbags. Or, if the airbags

inflate, the objects could be

propelled inside the car and

hurt someone.
