P. 70)

Women who are pregnant should position

the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in

the same manner as other occupants. Extend

the shoulder belt completely over the shoul-

der and position the belt across the chest.

Avoid belt contact over the rounding of the

abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only a

pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suf-

fer death or serious injury as a result of sud-

den braking or a collision.

If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely

because they are not long enough, a person-

alized seat belt extender is available from

your Lexus dealer free of charge.
