Seatbelt - loosening
Loosen the seatbelt (p. 30) when the car is sta-
tionary.
Press the red button on the seatbelt buckle and
then let the belt retract. If the seatbelt does not
retract fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not
hang loose.

Seatbelt - pregnancy
Seatbelt (p. 30) must always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the
correct way.
G020998
The diagonal section should wrap over the shoul-
der then be routed between the breasts and to
the side of the abdomen.
The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and
as low as possible under the abdomen. It must
never be allowed to ride upward. Remove the
slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits as
close to the body as possible. In addition, check
that there are no twists in the seatbelt.
As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
must adjust the seat (p. 84) and steering wheel
(p. 89) such that they can easily maintain con-
trol of the vehicle as they drive (which means that
they must be able to easily operate the foot ped-
als and steering wheel). The aim should be to
position the seat with as large a distance as pos-
sible between abdomen and steering wheel.
