SEAT BELT OPERATION
The seat belts must be worn by all persons when the vehicle is in motion.
Make sure seat belts are free from twists and latch securely.
Position shoulder belt across the top of the shoulder. Do not put shoulder belt below the arm.
Keep the belts tight and positioned low on hips. Loose fitting belts decrease protection.
The vehicle has seat belts for the number of persons it is designed to carry. Do not exceed the
recommended number of persons for the vehicle.
The seat belts are designed for one person for each belt. Do not try to secure more than one per-
son in a seat belt.
The seat belts must always be worn by all persons when the vehicle is in motion.
To keep seat belts in correct, working condition, do the following:
• Inspect the seat belt webbing and hardware periodically. Check for cuts, worn or loose parts. Replace the compo-
nents if wear or damage is seen.
• Keep seat belts clean and dry. To clean, use mild soap and warm water. Do not use bleach, dye or abrasive cleaners
as this will weaken the belt webbing material.
• Do not put any objects into the retractor mechanism.
• Periodically check for normal operation. Replace the mechanism if it is not operating correctly.
To secure the seat belts:
1. Pull the metal tab on the seat belt across the body toward the correct buckle found near the center of the seat.
2. Insert the tab into buckle. (A click will be heard when the tab is securely latched).
3. Position the lap belt as low as possible on the hips, not at the waist.
4. Adjust to make sure of a tight fit by pulling the shoulder portion upward.
The retractor will lock the belt during sudden stops. It can lock if a person bends forward quickly. Slow, easy motions
allow the belt to travel freely.
To release the safety belt, press the buckle release button and allow the belt to retract. If the belt does not retract, check
for twisted straps.
