Pregnant woman: Consult your doctor for specific recommendations. The safety belt should be worn securely
and as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist.
Injured person: Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations.
To secure safety belt, sit up straight and well back in the seat. Pull safety 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 pos-
sible on the hips – not on the waist, then adjust it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion upward through
the latch plate (Figure 11).
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop. It also may lock if the person leans forward too quickly. A
slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and the person can move around freely. If the safety 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 safety belt, press the buckle release button and allow the belt to retract. 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
(Figure 12).
The four-passenger vehicle is also equipped with two lap belts for passengers sitting in the rear-facing seat.
To secure safety belt, pull the belt across the hips and insert the tab into the buckle. Adjust the belt to a snug
fit by pulling on the adjuster strap.

WARNING
• Driver and passengers must be restrained at all times with safety belts provided to help
prevent injury in the event of sudden braking or collision.
• 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.
• Do not place the shoulder belt under arm.
• High-positioned safety belts and loose fitting safety belts could increase the chance of injury
due to sliding under the belt if sudden braking should occur. Keep the safety belt snug and
positioned as low on the hip bone as possible.
• Use a single safety belt for one person at a time. Do not use a single safety belt for two or
more people – this includes children.
• No more than two people per seat at one time. Do not allow people to ride in any part of the
• The Club Car vehicle is not designed to meet child seat compatibility requirements.

CAUTION
• Be careful not to damage the safety belt webbing or hardware.
• Inspect the safety belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged
parts should be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system.
