7.6 SEAT BELTS
7.6.1
LAP BELTS
Only the dinette seats are equipped with lap belts.
Make sure lap belts are adjusted to a snug fit and
as low on the hips as possible for maximum safety
and protection.
7.6.2
SHOULDER/LAP BELTS
The driver and co-pilot seats of your vehicle are
equipped with shoulder belts that have automatic
locking retractors that allow you to adjust the belt
for maximum comfort as well as safety.
Seat belts provide maximum safety only when
adjusted and worn correctly. The lap part of the belt
should be worn as low as possible with the shoulder
strap diagonally across the chest, over the shoulder
but not against the neck.
NOTE
If you pull the strap away from the wall too
quickly, the automatic retractor may “lock”.
To free it, relax the tension and then pull it
away from the wall slowly.
CAUTION
Make sure all passengers are instructed
on the release mechanisms of the seat
belts so that they are able to get out
quickly in case of emergency.
Never wear seat belts in any way other than as
described. Serious injury may result from
improper use of seat belts.
WARNING
Fig. 7-4 SHOULDER LAP BELTS
Snug and low belt position are important. In case
of collision, the force will be spread over the
strong hip area rather than the weaker abdomen
area. This could prevent serious injury.
Only seats equipped with seat belts should be
occupied when travelling.
