Seat/Shoulder Belts - Leisure Unity Owner's Manual

Unity Motorhome

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.

The driver and passenger seats are equipped
with a combination lap and shoulder belt (1) for
maximum restraint.

regnanc
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
Tra fic Sa ety d inistration and Canadian
equivalent), 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:
1. 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.
