VEHICLE OPERATION
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.
LAP/SHOULDER BELTS
The driver and passenger seats are equipped with a
combination lap and shoulder belt for maximum restraint.
WARNING
All seatbelt retractors are equipped with locks that
engage when the belt extends too quickly.
Move the spade end of the seatbelt slowly and
steadily across your body when fastening to prevent
the lock from engaging.
If the belt locks while extending, release the tension
and allow it to retract fully, and then pull out to fasten.
PREGNANCY
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.

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.
