Front Air Bags
If the vehicle is equipped with front passenger air-bags,
ensure that the air bag system is appropriately set for the
size and weight of the front passenger. Refer to the chassis
manufacturer’s owner’s manual for front air bag operation.
Seat Belts
Your motorhome may be equipped with an air bag
restraint system. Follow all air bag instructions
provided by the chassis manufacturer, including all
warnings regarding the placement and safety of child
and infant passengers.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING WARNING
Seat belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that
has been closed up in sunny and/or hot weather; they
could burn the bare skin of a child. Check that seat
covers and seat belt buckles are safe to the touch
before seating children.
CAUTION CAUTION
All occupants must be furnished with and use seat belts
while the motorhome is in motion. 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 your motorhome.
The sleeping accommodations in your motorhome are
designed for occupancy only while the vehicle is parked.
Never allow passengers to lie down while the motorhome
is in motion. They would not be properly restrained in the
event of a traffic accident or sudden vehicular movement,
such as swerving to avoid a road hazard.
Operation
Driver and front passenger 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.
USING SEAT BELTS
• 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.
Inspection and Replacement
Failure to inspect and if necessary, replace damaged
seat belts could result in severe personal injuries in the
event of a collision.
If seat belt replacement is necessary, ensure mounting
and fastening devices are torqued to manufacturer’s
specifications.
WARNING WARNING
• 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.
• All swivel and/or reclining seats must be returned
to their upright, forward-facing and locked position
while the vehicle is in motion.
• Seat belts are designed for single occupancy. Do not
use a seat belt for more than one person at a time.
• The sleeping accommodations in this vehicle are
designed for occupancy only while vehicle is NOT
in motion. Do not occupy beds or any other seats
that are not equipped with seat belts while the
motorhome is in motion.
• Seat belts installed in areas that convert to beds or
bunks may fall between cushions or framework. Be
sure beds are in their upright seating position and
all seat belts are properly and securely placed and
available for use before travel.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
