2. Lap Belts:
The dinette seats are equipped
with lap belts. Never travel in a
seat that is not equipped with a lap
or shoulder belt.
a.
Sit in the seat.
b. Pull the spade end of the seat
belt across the lap and insert it
into the buckle. Be sure the
buckle “clicks” to indicate that
the spade is locked securely in
place.
c. Be sure the belt is not twisted
to minimize lead concentra-
tions during impact. A flat belt
distributes impact loads over a
wider area of the body to
reduce the chance of injury.
d. Slide the strap low on the
torso and touching the top of
the thighs to distribute the
impact load through the hip/
pelvic area.
4. Child Restraints:
Child restraint systems are a legal requirement
in most jurisdictions of North America. Statis-
tics prove that children not secured with a
certified child restraint systems experience
more severe and more frequent injuries than
those properly restrained. In order to provide
the safest restraint system for your child during
transport, follow these considerations when
selecting an appropriate child restraint system:
a.
Purchase a child restraint system that is
labelled to be certified to all applicable US
Motor Vehicle and Canadian Children's
Car Seats and Harness Regulations.
b. Make sure the system will attach to your
vehicle conveniently and provide safety for
your child every time it is used.
c. Be sure the restraint system is suitable
and adequate for your child's age, weight
and height. Check the label for this
information.
d. Review the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system. Be sure that any-
one placing a child restraint system in a
vehicle fully understands how it must be
located, anchored and used. Improperly
placed or anchored restraints will not
provide an acceptable level of safety for
your child.

e. Depress the button on the buckle to
release the spade/belt assembly. Hold the
belt as it is released to prevent it from
retracting too quickly.
IMPORTANT
All seat belt retractors are
equipped with locks that
engage when the belt moves
too fast. Move the spade end
slowly and steadily when
fastening to prevent locking. If
belt locks while fastening,
release end and let it retract
fully. Then pull again to fasten.
3. Pregnancy:
Pregnant women should wear their lap belts
low on their torsos and shoulder straps diago-
nally across their chests. Do not position the
strap against the neck. Wearing a seat or
shoulder/lap belt properly will protect both the
mother and the unborn child.
