Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Always use seat belts
. In an accident, injury to the driver and passengers may be reduced if
seat belts are properly used. If your motor home is equipped with a booth dinette, hide-a-bed
sofa, or easy bed sofa they will have two-point lap-seat belts installed.
Seat belts should be
used in all seating positions.
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
The webbing used in seat belts may be cleaned with a mild soap or detergent solution. Allow
the belts to dry in the shade and do not allow them to retract until fully dry.
Regularly check the seat belt buckles and release mechanisms for positive action and check
automatic locking retractors for positive engagement.
If the seat belt webbing shows obvious cuts, protruding broken fibers or severe fading which
indicates weakening by exposure to sunlight, the entire seat belt assembly should be re-
placed. Do not try to bleach or re-dye the belts. The resulting color may rub off and the
webbing strength could be affected.
Child Safety Restraint Systems
When transporting infants or small children, an appropriate child safety restraint system
should always be used.
™
NOTE: All child safety restraint systems should always face the front or rear
of the motor home. They should never be installed so the occupant is facing
the side of the motor home.
™
NOTE: Children too large for a child safety seat (per government specifica-
tions) should always wear a seat belt.

Improper installation or failure to properly secure a child restraint may
result in failure of the restraint.

Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s directions exactly when install-
ing an infant or child restraint. Be aware of all warnings and safety infor-
mation included with any infant or child safety restraint system.

Never place a front or rear facing child restraint in the front seat of a
vehicle. A deploying passenger front air bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger, including a child in a child restraint.
A child restraint should only be installed in a rear seat.
 To ensure proper safety belt fit, always use booster seats for children who
are size and age appropriate. Refer to the governmental safety regula-
tions for child sizing charts.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in serious injury or death.

Never allow a passenger to hold a child on their lap while the motor home
is moving. The use of safety seats for children are required when trans-
porting a child in your motor home. All child age and weight guidelines
as specified by law should be strictly adhered to.

Rear facing child seats or infant carriers, or child booster seats should
never be placed in the front seats of the motor home.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in serious injury or death.
