However, if you brake hard, corner hard or if your
vehicle receives an impact, the lap and shoulder
belt locks and prevents you from moving.
To fasten the belt, pull the lap/shoulder belt from
the retractor so that the shoulder portion of the
belt crosses your shoulder and chest. Insert the
belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear
a snap and feel it latch.(For more details on seat
belt usage, see Manufacturers Usage Manual).
To tighten the lap portion of the belt, pull up
on the shoulder belt until it fits you snugly.
The lap portion belt should rest as low on your
hips as possible.
In the event a longer seat belt is desired
contact your local authorized American
Coach dealer for assistance.
Safety Belt Maintenance
Check your safety belt system periodically
to make sure that it works properly and isn’t
damaged. If the webbing shows any wear,
nicks or cuts, have it examined by a qualified
technician to determine if replacement is
necessary. Always have your safety belt system
checked after a collision .
Safety Restraints for Children
In most states, you are required by law to use
safety restraints for children. If small children ride
in your vehicle, you must put them in safety seats
that are made specially for children. Safety belts
alone do not provide maximum protection for
these children. Check your local and state laws for
specific requirements .
Safety belts and seats can become hot in
a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny
weather, and could burn a child. Check seat
covers and buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.
Children who are too large for child safety seats
should always wear safety belts.
Safety Belts for Children
If the shoulder belt cannot be properly positioned
so that it does not cross or rest in front of the
child’s face or neck, move the child to one of the
seats with a lap belt only and use the lap belt.
Lap belts and the lap portion of lap and shoulder
belts should always be worn snugly and below
the hips, touching the child’s thighs.
Children should use forward or rearward facing
seat positions , not seated facing sideways.
Children should always ride with the seatback in
the fully upright position. When the seatback is
not fully upright, there is a greater risk that the
child will slide under the safety belt and be
seriously injured in a collision.
Use a safety seat that is recommended for the
size and weight of the child. Seat backs should
be upright for use with child safety seats. Any
objects in close proximity which may come into
contact with the child in the event of an accident
or sudden stop should be removed.
