A-pregnantwoman should wear a lap-shoulder belt;.and-
the lap.portion should be worn as-l.owas po.ssible, b-elow

The best way to.protect.the fetus
is to protect the
mother. Whena.safetybelt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’tbe hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyane.,the key to making
safety belts effectiveis wearing them properly.

If your vehicle has a bench seat, someone can sit in the
center position.
When you sit in a centerseatingposition, you have a lap
safety belt, which has no retractor. To make the belt
longer, tiltthe latch plate and pull
it -alongthe belt.
To make the belt shorter, -pull
its free end as shown until
the belt is snug.
Buckle, position andrelease it the same way .asthe lap
part of a lap-shoulder belt. If the beltisn’t long enough,
see “Safety Belt Extender”at.the -endof this section.
Make sure the release buttonon tke buckle is positioned.
SO you would be able to unbuckle the safetybelt quickly
if you ever had to.
Jt’s very important for re.arseat passengers tu buckle up!

Smallerchildren and babies shouldalwaysbe
restrained in a chiid or i-nfant restriaint.
The
instructions far the re&trairit
will saywhether it is
the right type-and:size-€or
your child. A very
young child’s hip bones.are so smallthat:a
regular belt might not staylow on the hips, as it
should.Instead, the belt will .likely.beover.the
child’sabdomen. In a crash,the belt wouldapply
force right on the child’s abdomen,which could
cause seriousor fatal injuries. So, be sure‘that
any child small enoughfor one is always properly
restraine.din a child or infant restraint.
Never hold a.babyin your arms while riding in
a
vehicle. A baby doesn’tweigh much -- until a
crash. During a crash a baby will become so
CAUTION: (C.ontinued)
heavy you can’t hold it.
For example, ina crash
at only 25 mph (40 km/h), a 12-lb. (5.5 kg) baby
will suddenIy become a240-lb..(I10 kg) force on
your arms. The baby would be almost impossible
to hold.
Secure the babyin an infant restraint.

brakes won’t work well, or won’t wotk zit all.
So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off’your brake fluid,
Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak. If you add fluid
when your linings are worn, then-you’ll have too much
fluid when yau get new brake linings. You should add
(or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only when work is
done .onthe .brakehydraulic system.

So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off’your brake fluid, Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak.

Tltere are only two reasons why the brake fluid. levelin the .reservoirmight go down.

The other reason isthat fluid is Ieaking out: .of the brake system. If it is, you should have your brc&e If you have too much brakc uid, it.cansp on %he engine.
