SEAT/SHOULDER BELTS
Every occupant must be seated in an approved seat with
the seatbelt properly fastened whenever the motorhome
is in motion.
Accident statistics prove the importance of using
seatbelts. Vehicle occupants not seated in an approved
seat and restrained with a seatbelt are likely to suffer
more serious injuries than those who are properly
restrained.
LAP/SHOULDER BELTS
The driver and passenger seats are equipped with a
combination lap and shoulder belt for maximum restraint.
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
mandates anchors and tethers for child restraint systems
in passenger vehicles, but this does 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:
•
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 varies in different
jurisdictions.
•
Your motorhome, in accordance with applicable
law, is not manufactured with any anchor or
tether system on any of its forward-facing seats.
•
Obtain a child restraint that is labeled as
certified to comply with all applicable U.S. rules,
and regulations applicable to child car seat,
harness, anchor, and/or tethering systems
before allowing any child to travel in your
motorhome.
•
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.
WARNING
All seatbelt retractors are equipped with locks that
engage when the belt extends too quickly.
Move the spade end of the seatbelt slowly and
steadily across your body when fastening to prevent
the lock from engaging.
If the belt locks while extending, release the tension
and allow it to retract fully, and then pull out to fasten.
