MANDALAY
Do not occupy beds or any other seats that are not equipped with safety seat belts while
the motorhome is in motion. Do not use a seat belt on more than one person.
Pilot & co-pilot seats must be locked in a forward facing position with seat belts fastened
while the motorhome is in motion. Avoid seat rotation while in transit.
The sleeping accommodations in this vehicle are designed for occupancy only while the
vehicle is parked. All occupants in this vehicle must be seated at a designated seating
position and must wear seat belts at all times while this vehicle is in motion.
Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny
weather; they could burn a small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place
a child anywhere near them.
All occupants must be furnished with and use seat belts while the motorhome is moving.
However, it is not intended for all seats to be simultaneously occupied while the vehicle is in
motion without regard to the total loaded weight of the vehicle.
• Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the
direction the tongue is coming from) until you hear a snap and feel it latch.
Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle.
• Adjust the belt to the proper position; snug and as low as possible around the
hips, not around the waist.
• To unfasten, push the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle.
Failure to inspect, and if necessary, replace the safety belt under the above conditions
could result in severe personal injuries in the event of a collision.
Inspect the safety belts periodically to make sure they work properly and are not damaged.
Inspect the safety belts to make sure there are no nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if necessary.
A qualified service technician should inspect all safety belt assemblies after a collision.
Four Winds International/Mandalay Luxury Division recommends that all safety belt
assemblies used in vehicles involved in a collision be replaced.
