DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME

SEAT BELTS
Seats intended for occupancy while the
vehicle is in motion are equipped with seat belts
for the protection of the driver and passengers.
Lap Belts
The lap belts must be worn as low as possible
and fit snugly across the hip area. Always sit
erect and well back into the seat. To gain full
protection of the safety belt, never let more than
one person use the same safety belt at any one
time, and do not let the safety belts become
damaged by pinching them in the doors or in the
seat mechanism. After any serious accident, any
seat belts which were in use at the time must be
inspected and replaced if necessary.
Adjustment
To lengthen belt, swivel the tab end at a right
angle to belt and pull strap to desired length. To
shorten, pull loose end of belt.
To Fasten
Be sure belt is not twisted. Grasp each part of
the belt assembly and push tongue into buckle.
Adjust to a snug fit by pulling the loose end away
from the tongue.
To Release
Press button in center of buckle and slide
tongue out of buckle.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
Fastening
Hold the belt just behind the tongue using the
hand nearest to the door. Next, bring the belt
across the body and insert the tongue into the
buckle until the latch engages.
Unfastening
Press the release button in the buckle. Hold
onto the tongue when you release it from the
buckle to keep it from retracting too rapidly.
When the lap-shoulder belt is in use, the lap
belt must ride low across the hip area and the
shoulder belt must ride diagonally over the
shoulder toward the buckle.
The shoulder belt is designed to lock only
during a sudden stop, sudden body movement or
a collision. At all other times it will move freely
with the occupant.
Recline Lever
1- Insert tab into buckle
slot until it ‘clicks’ and is
locked
2- Pull strap to tighten
3- Press to
release
WARNING
Snug and low belt positions are essential.
This will ensure that the force exerted by
the lap belt in a collision is spread over the
strong hip area and not across the
abdomen, which could result in serious
injury.
Only seats equipped with seat belts are to
be occupied while vehicle is in motion.
