SAFETY SEAT BELTS
In the forward driver's area of the motorhome, safety seat belts are provided for the use of the driver and the
right front passenger. Safety belts are available for other seats. It is strongly recommended that all
occupants remain seated with their safety belts firmly attached while the motorhome is in motion. The
driver should adjust his seat so that he is able to reach all controls easily with the belt on, especially able to
use all the travel on the foot brake. The belt should be placed as low as possible around the hips to prevent
sliding out from under them in case of accident. This places the load of the body on the strong hipbone
structure instead of around the soft abdominal area. Two people should never try to use the same seat belt.
WARNING: Children must be secured in a Federally Approved Child Restraint Device. Failure
to use proper restraints can result in severe or fatal injuries in case of accidents.
Child restraint devices are designed to be secured with lap or lap/shoulder belts. All instructions supplied
by the restraint manufacturer must be followed. Statistics have shown children are safer when properly
restrained in a rear seating position than in a front seating position.
Often the children traveling in motorhomes are grandchildren. There are times when our love for
grandchildren makes us hesitate to properly supervise their actions. Don't hesitate when it comes to their
safety. Make sure they are properly restrained.
CHILDREN HAVE LOVED ONES TOO.
IF YOU WON'T BUCKLE UP FOR YOURSELF, BUCKLE UP FOR THEM.
