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.
When the shoulder belt is pulled
out
all the way, it will
lock. If it does, let
it
go back all the way and start again.
Air
Bag
System
This part explains the air bag system.
Your Buick 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.
