hips and not on the child’s waist.
J Expectant mothers
Expectant mothers also need to use the seat belts. They should consult
their doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn
securely and as low as possible over the hips, not over the waist.
J Maintenance
CAUTION
D Keep the belts free of polishes, oils, chemicals and particularly
battery acid.
D Never attempt to make modifications or changes that will pre-
vent the seat belt from operating properly.
To clean the seat belts, use a mild soap and lukewarm water. Never
bleach or dye the belts because this could seriously affect their strength.
Inspect the seat belts and attachments including the webbing and all
hardware periodically for cracks, cuts, gashes, tears, damage, loose
bolts or worn areas. Replace the seat belts even if only minor damage is
found.
