Using Seatbelts During Pregnancy
FASTENING THE SEATBELTS
WARNING: Position the seatbelt
correctly for your safety and that of your
unborn child. Do not use only the lap
strap or the shoulder strap.
WARNING: Make sure that the
seatbelts are securely stowed away
when not in use and not outside your
vehicle when closing the doors.
WARNING: Accessory seat covers
not released by Ford could prevent the
seatbelt from retracting correctly. This
could cause the seatbelt to become
slack which could increase the risk of
injuries in a crash.
