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.
Right
Front Passenger
Position
The
right
front
passenger’s
safety
belt
works
the
same
way as the
driver’s
safety
belt.
See
“Driver
Position’’
earlier
in
this
section.
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS)
This
part
explains
the
Supplemental
Restraint
System
(SRS)
or
air
bag
system.
Your
vehicle
has
two
air
bags
--
one
air
bag
for
the
driver
and
another
air
bag for the
right
front
passenger.
Here
are
the
most
important
things
to
know
about
the
air
bag
system:
You can
be
severely
injured or killed
in
a
crash
if
you aren’t
wearing
your
safety
belt
--
even
if
you
have air bags. Wearing
your
safety
belt
during
a
crash helps
reduce
your
chance
of hitting
things
inside
the
vehicle
or being
ejected
from
it.
Air
bags are “supplemental
restraints”to the
safety
belts.
All
air bags are designed to work
with
safety
belts, but don’t
replace
them.
Air
bags are
designed
to
work
only
in
moderate
to
severe
crashes
where
the
front of your
vehicle
hits
something.
They
aren’t
designed
to inflate at
all
in
rollover,
rear,
side
or
low-speed frontal
crashes.
Everyone
in
your
vehicle
should
wear
a
safety
belt
properly
--
whether or not
there’s
an
air bag for that person.
