Pregnant Women and Persons with
Serious Medical Conditions

Pregnant women should always wear seat
belts. Ask your doctor for specific
recommendations.
The lap belt should be worn SNUGLY
AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER
THE HIPS.
The shoulder belt should be worn across
your shoulder properly, but never across
the stomach area.
Persons with serious medical conditions
also should wear seat belts. Check with
your doctor for any special instructions
regarding specific medical conditions.

Emergency Locking Mode

When the seat belt is fastened, it will
always be in the emergency locking mode.
In the emergency locking mode, the belt
remains comfortable on the occupant and
the retractor will lock in position during a
collision.
If the belt is locked and cannot be pulled
out, retract the belt once, and then try
pulling it out slowly. If this fails, pull the
belt strongly 1 time and loosen, then pull it
out again slowly.

(Seat Belt with Automatic Locking
Mode)

When the seat belt is fastened, it will
always be in the emergency locking mode
until it is switched to automatic locking
mode by pulling it all the way out to its
full length. If the belt feels tight and
hinders comfortable movement while the
vehicle is stopped or in motion, it may be
in the automatic locking mode because the
belt has been pulled too far out. To return
the belt to the more comfortable
emergency locking mode, wait until the
vehicle has stopped in a safe, level area,
retract the belt fully to convert it back to
emergency locking mode and then extend
it around you again.

▼

Automatic Locking Mode (Except
Mexico)

Always use the automatic locking mode to
keep the child-restraint system from
shifting to an unsafe position in the event
of an accident. To enable seat belt
automatic locking mode, pull it all the way
out and connect it as instructed on the
child-restraint system. It will retract down
to the child-restraint system and stay
locked on it. See the section on child
restraint (page 2-44).
