Seat and steering wheel adjustments
4 Pregnant women
Since a seat belt could exert undue pressure on the
abdomen in the event of an accident, pregnant
women should consult a doctor about the use of
seat belts before riding in the vehicle. A pregnant
woman should wear her seat belt as low as possible
across the hips, not across her abdomen.
5 Seat belt care
•
Periodically, check the action of the mechanical
parts such as the buckles, tangs, and ELR units.
Check also for any damage that could stop the
seat belts from functioning properly.
Replace seat belt unit if there is any malfunction
or damage.
•
Replace any webbing that is cut, rayed, or other-
wise damaged.
•
Replace any seat belt that has received a shock
due to a collision.
•
Keep sharp or other potentially damaging
objects away from the seat belts, especially the
webbing.
•
Keep the seat belts clean and dry. Use a mild
soap and lukewarm water to clean seat belts.
Such solvents as gasoline and thinner may seri-
ously affect the strength of webbing.
•
Never attempt to bleach or dye the seat belts, as
this could weaken them considerably.
•
Do not attempt to remove the seat belts or dis-
assemble the ELR units.
