The best way to protect the fetus is to protect 
the mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, 
it’s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash.
For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.

To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s 
safety belt properly, see “Driver Position” earlier in 
this section.

The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt 

--

 except for one thing. 

If you ever pull the shoulder portion of the belt out 
all the way, you will engage the child restraint locking
feature. If this happens, just let the belt go back all the
way and start again.

This part explains the frontal and side impact
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) or air 
bag systems.

Your vehicle has four air bags 

--

 a frontal air bag for 

the driver, another frontal air bag for the right front
passenger, a side impact air bag for the driver, and
another side impact air bag for the right front passenger.

Frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk 
of injury from the force of an inflating frontal air bag.
But these air bags must inflate very quickly to do their
job and comply with federal regulations.
