UNITY MOTORHOME MOTORHOME OPERATION

LAP BELTS
The dinette is equipped with lap belts
2
(not available
on all models). Never allow occupants to travel in a seat
that is not equipped with a lap or shoulder belt.
2
PREGNANCY
Pregnant occupants of the motorhome should wear
the lap belts low on their torso and should position the
shoulder strap diagonally across their chest. Do not
position the shoulder strap against the neck. Wearing
a seat or shoulder/lap belt properly will protect both
the mother and the unborn child.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Child restraint systems are legally required in many
jurisdictions in North America. Statistics prove that
children not secured with a certified and appropriately
sized child restraint system experience more severe
injuries than those who are properly restrained. The
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (and
Canadian equivalent), mandates anchors and tethers
for child restraint systems in passenger vehicles, but
these NHTSA rules do NOT apply to your motorhome.
Therefore, your motorhome is not equipped with any
anchor or tether restraint system for use with child
restraint seats. In evaluating and providing the safest
conditions for your young passengers, you must take
into account the following considerations:
1. Familiarize yourself with the laws and regulations
of all states and provinces in which you will use
the motorhome. Laws governing the transport of
children and the use of child restraint and anchor
systems vary in different jurisdictions.
ᘐ
CAUTION
Placing a child or child restraint system in a
rear-facing or side-facing seat is not safe under
any circumstances.
2. In accordance with applicable law, your motorhome
is not equipped with any anchor or tether system
on any of its forward facing seats.
3. Obtain a child restraint that is labeled as certified to
comply with all applicable U.S. and Canadian laws,
rules and regulations applicable to child car seat,
harness, anchor and/or tethering systems before
allowing any child to travel in your motorhome.
4. Ensure that any child restraint system you use
conveniently and safely attaches to the structural
elements of your motorhome and provides safety
for a child every time it is used.
5. Ensure that your child restraint system is suitable
and adequate for your child’s age, weight and height.
Check your child’s restraint system instructions
and labels to verify that it is suitable and adequate.
6. Carefully review the labels and instructions supplied
with your child restraint system and correctly and
appropriately install your child restraint system in
accordance with the labels and instructions and all
applicable laws and regulations.
7. If anchors or tethers are required for the safe or legal
use of your child restraint system or for your child’s
age, weight and height, you may have a difficult
time safely transporting a child in the motorhome,
because no anchors or tethers are installed on your
motorhome as manufactured.
