Seat belts must also be worn by ex-
pectant mothers: the risk of injury in
the case of accident is much greater
for them and their unborn child too if
they do not have a seat belt on. Of
course, they must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that
it passes under the abdomen (fig. 37).
HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT
BELTS IN PROPER WORKING
ORDER AT ALL TIMES
1) When wearing the seat belts, al-
ways ensure they are not twisted and
are free to wind in and out.
2) Following a serious accident, re-
place the belt being worn at the time,
even if it does not seem damaged.
3) When cleaning the belts, wash
them by hand with water and neutral
soap, rinse them and let them dry in
the shade. Do not use strong deter-
gents, bleach, colourings or any other
chemical substance that could weaken
the fibres.
4) Do not allow the reel mechanisms
to get wet: they are only guaranteed
to work properly if they remain dry.

Never travel with a child
sitting on the passenger’s
lap with a single belt to
protect them both (fig. 38).

The webbing must not be
twisted. The upper section
must pass across the
shoulder and chest diagonally. The
lower part must fit closely across
the passenger’s hips and not the
abdomen, to prevent them from
sliding forwards (fig. 36). Do not
use clips, fasteners etc. to prevent
the belt adhering to the passenger’s
body.
IMPORTANT Arrange the child re-
straint seat on the rear seat behind the
passenger’s seat. This is the most pro-
tected position in the passenger com-
partment in the event of a collision.
