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. A l l

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
A I R B A G " 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.
