tighten the seat belts in a side
crash or a rollover event.

Parts after a Crash
Do not sit on the outboard
seat belt while entering or
exiting the vehicle or at any
time while sitting in the seat.
Sitting on the seat belt can
damage the webbing and
hardware.
Rear Seat Belt Comfort
Guides
Rear seat belt comfort guides
may provide added seat belt
comfort for older children who
have outgrown booster seats
and for some adults. When
installed on a shoulder belt,
the comfort guide positions
the shoulder belt away from
the neck and head.
Comfort guides are available
through your dealer for the
rear outboard seating
positions. Instructions are
included with the guides.
Seat Belt Use During
Pregnancy
Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women.
Like all occupants, they are
more likely to be seriously
injured if they do not wear
seat belts.
A pregnant woman should
wear a lap-shoulder belt, and
the lap portion should be worn
as low as possible, below the
rounding, throughout the
pregnancy.
The best way to protect the
fetus is to protect the mother.
When a seat belt is worn
properly, it is more likely that
the fetus will not be hurt in a
crash. For pregnant women, as
for anyone, the key to making
seat belts effective is wearing
them properly.
