The cab seats swivel for convenience when you
are on site. However, when the vehicle is being
driven they MUST be locked in their forward
position.

Seat belts are fitted to all travelling seats.
Designated travelling seats have been fitted
to some layouts to ensure the safety of your
passengers. These seats vary according to
the layout that you have purchased. Each
seatbelt frame is tested to the relevant safety
requirements.
NEVER travel in or attempt to install a
seat belt to a non-designated seat.
Side-facing seats are for habitation use only,
not for use when the vehicle is in motion.

When the vehicle is in motion seat belts must
be worn by the driver and all passengers. In
addition children aged under 3 years must
wear an appropriate child restraint such
as a booster seat suitable for their height
and weight. Children must normally use a
child car seat until they’re 12 years old or
135 centimetres tall, whichever comes first.
Children over 135 cm (4’5”) in height or over 12
years of age must wear a seat belt.
It is the legal responsibility of the driver to
ensure children aged up to 14 are suitably
restrained. For passengers aged 14 and over, it
is their responsibility (not the driver’s).
Three point seat belts are located in the
habitation compartment of your motorhome,
fitted for you and your passenger’s safety
these must be worn unless you have a
Certificate of Exemption from Compulsory Seat
Belt Wearing. This certificate must be produced
if requested by the police.

Check with the retailer on the suitability of the
child seat for your motorhome.
If a child seat is fitted to the front
passenger seat of the cab, refer
to the base vehicle handbook
(Peugeot) regarding the position
and air bag operation. A warning
sticker is visible inside the sun visor
(passenger side) to remind you of
this.
All of the motorhomes are fitted with inertia
seat belts however the child seat must be tight
in the adult seat. Push all your weight into
the child seat as you tighten the belt. Keep a
copy of the child seat fitting instruction in the
motorhome for easy reference.
