Seat Belts
WARNING
• The seat belts must be properly installed before operating the vehicle. Club Car strongly urges that
the vehicle’s occupants be properly restrained at all times with the seat belts provided.
See Transporting Children on page 25.
Pregnant women: Consult your doctor for specific recommendations. The seat belt should be worn securely and
as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist.
Injured persons: Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations.
Forward facing seats:
To secure the retractable seat belt, sit up straight and well back in the seat. Pull the seat belt out of the retractor
and insert the tab into the buckle. A click will be heard when the tab locks into the buckle. Position the lap belt
as low as possible on the hips, not on the waist. After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked
and that the belt is not twisted.
Make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the shoulder. The belt should be kept away from
the neck, but not falling off the shoulder.
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop. It also may lock if the occupant leans forward too quickly. A slow,
easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and the occupant can move freely. If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the
retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. It should then pull smoothly out of the retractor.
To release the seat belt, press the buckle release button (1) and allow the belt to retract
(Figure 11)
. If the belt does
not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains free of twists as it retracts.
Rear facing seats:
To secure the non-retractable seat belt, sit up straight and well back in the seat. Pull the seat belt (1) over your hips
and insert the tab into the buckle. A click will be heard when the tab locks into the buckle. Position the seat belt as low
as possible on the hips, not on the waist. After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the
belt is not twisted. The seat belt should be snug but comfortable
(Figure 12)
. To remove the slack in the seat belt, pull
on the inner seat belt loop in order to tighten the seat belt.
To release the seat belt, press the buckle release button.
WARNING
• The driver and all passengers must be restrained at all times with the seat belts provided to help
prevent injury in the event of sudden braking, collision, or roll-over.
• In the event of a roll-over, do not attempt to jump or otherwise exit the vehicle. Remain seated with
seat belt fastened and with arms and legs inside the vehicle.
• After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.
• Make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the shoulder. The belt should be kept
away from the neck, but not falling off the shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of
protection and increase the chance of injury.
