Seat Belts
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.
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.
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 specifica-
tions) should always wear a seat belt.
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.
