Seat belts must also be worn by
expectant mothers: the risk of injury
in the event of an accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn
child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Of course, expectant mothers must
position the lower part of the belt
very low down so that it passes
under the abdomen fig. 27.

HOW TO MAINTAIN THE
SEAT BELTS IN EFFICIENT
CONDITIONS
1) Always use the belt with the strap
well stretched and not twisted;
make sure that it is free to run
without obstructions.
2) Replace the belt which was worn
after an accident of a certain
severity even if it does not appear
to be damaged.
3) To clean the belt, wash by hand
with water and mild soap, rinse
and leave to dry in the shade. Do
not use strong detergents, bleach,
paints or any other substance
which could damage the belt
fibres.
4) Prevent the reels from getting
wet: their correct operation is
only guaranteed if water does not
get inside.
5) Replace seat belts when they
show signs of significant wear or
cuts.
SEVERE
DANGER:
If the vehicle has a passenger
side airbag, do not fit a child
seat on the front seat.
