SEAT BELTS AND LEGISLATION
Designated driver and
passenger seats are
fitted with seat belts
and MUST be worn.
Children, aged up to 3
years of age, must
wear an appropriate child restraint suitable
for their age and weight.
Children from 3 years of age and up to
135cm (4'5") in height, or 12 years of age,
whichever is reached first must use a
restraint suitable for their age.
Children over 135cm (4'5") in height or aged
12 or 13 years must wear a seat belt.
Note: It is the legal responsibility of the driver
To ensure children aged up to 14 years old
are suitably restrained.
For passengers aged 14 and over, it is their
responsibility (not the driver) that a seat belt
is worn.
Designated passenger seats within the
habitational compartment of your
motorhome are identified (fig. 1).
Seat belts are fitted for your safety and must
be worn unless a ‘Certificate of Exemption
from Compulsory Seat Belt Wearing’ is held.
This Certificate must be produced if asked
for by the Police – seat belt offences can
result in a fine.
THREE POINT SEAT BELTS
This section refers to the seat belts located
in the habitation area of your motorhome.
Fastening the seat belt:
Insert tongue into buckle; a positive ‘click’
indicates correct assembly.
Releasing the seat belt:
Press the red release button, the tongue will
be ejected from the buckle.
- The belt is designed for use by one
person and must not be put around a
child seated on a person’s lap.
- The belt is suitable for restraining most
child seats and boosters.
- The belt should at all times be adjusted
and used in accordance with the
instructions. No excessive slackness
should be present.
- Once installed the diagonal should pass
across the centre of the shoulder and the
buckle should lie just on or below the hip.
- Avoid twisting the webbing during use.
Webbing must not be allowed to chafe
against sharp edges.
- Do not make alterations or additions to
the belt.
- Belts that have been cut, frayed,
damaged or stressed through impact
should be replaced. After impact the
motorhome anchorage points should also
be checked.
- To clean use warm soapy water only.
- Periodic inspection of the installation will
ensure reliability of the seat belt.
