Operating Instructions
During Pregnancy
Pregnant women should always wear combination lap/shoulder
belts. The lap belt portion must be worn snugly and as
low as possible across the pelvis. To avoid pressure on the
abdomen, the belt must never pass over the waist. Sometimes
pregnant women worry that in a crash the seat belt
could hurt the baby. But if a woman wears her belt properly—
low over her pelvis, below her abdomen—the belt will not
harm the baby, even in a crash. And remember—the best
way to keep an unborn baby safe is to keep the mother safe.
Passengers
Anyone riding in your vehicle should wear a seat belt. A
responsible operator sees to it that everyone in the vehicle
rides safely—and that means with a seat belt.
Belt Damage and Repair
Damaged belts in the cab must be replaced. Belts that have
been stretched, cut, or worn out may not protect you in an
accident.
Pregnant Woman with Belt Properly Worn
If any seat belt is not working properly, see an Authorized
Service Center for repair or replacement.
