Passengers should not move out of or change seats while the
vehicle is moving. A passenger who is not wearing a seat belt
can be thrown against the inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle during a crash or emergency
stop
•
Do not use any accessories on seat belts or modify in any way
the seat belt system. Devices claiming to improve occupant
comfort or reposition the seat belt can reduce the protection
provided by the seat belt and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash
•
An accident or emergency stop, can damage your seat belt
system, even if the accident is “minor”. Please have your
Authorized Mahindra Dealer inspect the seat belt system after
an accident
Never use a damaged seat belt system. A damaged seat belt
will not provide protection in an accident, resulting in serious
injury.
•
Seat belt systems can be prone to abuse. They are not
indestructible. They must be handled with care to avoid damage
•
Keep the belts clean and dry. Belt retraction may become
difficult if the belts and webbing are soiled. If they need cleaning,
use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach,
dye, or abrasive cleaners. These chemicals will severely weaken
the belts
Never wear twisted seat belts. Excessive forces will be
transferred from the belt to the wearer, in a collision, resulting
in serious personal injury.
Each seat belt is meant for use by one person only. Using one
seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. The
seat belt will not be able to spread the impact forces properly
leading to serious injuries.
Seat Belt Usage is Necessary to:
•
Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle
•
Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an
accident
