WARNING
•
Expecting mothers and sick people must
wear seat belts correctly in case of a mis-
hap. In the case of an expecting mother,
the seat belt could, if not worn properly,
dig into the abdomen in the event of hard
braking or a collision, possibly inflicting
serious injuries on the expecting mother
and unborn child and, in the worst possi-
ble case, causing death. Even when worn
correctly, however, a seat belt can apply
great pressure to certain parts of the body,
so an expecting mother should consult a
physician before using one.
•
An expecting mother should wear her seat
belt in basically the same way as other
people. However, she should place the lap
belt
men. Also, she should position the shoul-
der belt
and not across the abdomen.
•
Make sure any child riding in the cab
wears a seat belt.
Fit an appropriate child restraint system
(baby seat, child seat, or booster seat) on
Z14044
the assistant driver's seat for any child
who rides in the cab if the seat belt passes
across his/her neck, chin, or face or does
not pass across his/her hips. Do not fit a
child restraint system on the center seat.
Doing so could impede driving.
Do not allow a child to be held on anyone's
lap. In the event of hard braking or a colli-
sion, it would be impossible to adequately
restrain the child, and the child could thus
be injured.
•
Warning: No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which will
either prevent the seat belt adjusting
devices from operating to remove slack, or
prevent the seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.
•
Do not attempt any form of modifications
or repairs to seat belt components. If the
retractor or other components do not
operate
