SEATS AND RESTRAINTS

Safety Restraint Tips

•
Do not wear a belt over rigid or
breakable objects in or on your
clothing, such as eye glasses,
pens, keys, etc., as these may
cause injury in an accident.
•
Any authorized person sleeping
in your vehicle while it is moving
should use the bunk restraint.
•
Any authorized person sitting in
the sleeper area on the sofa bed
(if equipped) while it is moving
should wear a seat belt.
•
A responsible operator sees to it
that everyone in the vehicle rides
or sleeps safely. The operator
is responsible to inform any
passengers or co-drivers how to
properly use the seat belts and
bunk restraint in the vehicle.
•
Do not strap in more than one
person with each belt.
