spread across the strong hip area. Pregnant
women should wear a lap-shoulder belt
whenever possible, with the lap belt portion
worn low and snug throughout the
pregnancy.
•
All moveable or swiveling seats should be
placed and locked in forward facing positions
while the vehicle is moving.

Use care when accelerating or decelerating

can cause skidding and loss of control.

have not been affected. Never operate any
vehicle if a difference in braking efficiency is
