Seat Belts
Warning
Seat belts should always be worn by anyone who drives or rides in this vehicle.
- Never use one seat belt for more than one occupant. Never carry more people in the motor home than there are seat belts.
- Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be occupied while the vehicle is in motion. While traveling, do not occupy beds or any seats that do not have seat belts.
- Be sure to lock all doors before driving. Locking the doors and using the provided seat belts will minimize the risk of injury or ejection in an accident.
- If you are pregnant, consult your health care professional for advice on seat belt use.
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 specifications) should always wear a seat belt.
Danger
- 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.
Warning
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 installing an infant or child restraint. Be aware of all warnings and safety information 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 regulations for child sizing charts.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in serious injury or death.
Booth Dinette (if equipped)
Warning
The dinette table should be lowered and secured with the safety strap when-ever adding a child safety seat to the dinette seat.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in serious injury or death.
If your child requires a child safety restraint system (seat), it can be installed in the forward or rear facing booth dinette according to the instructions of the safety seat manufacturer. The seat must be secured with the dinette seat tether strap.
