Pilot and co-pilot seats must be locked in a forward facing position with seat belts
fastened while the motorhome is in motion. Avoid seat rotation while in transit.
The sleeping accommodations in this vehicle are designed for occupancy only while
the vehicle is parked. All occupants in this vehicle must be seated at a designated
seating position and must wear seat belts at all times while this vehicle is in motion.
Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny
weather; they could burn a small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you
place a child anywhere near them.
All occupants must be furnished with and use seat belts while the motorhome is
moving. However, it is not intended for all seats to be simultaneously occupied
while the vehicle is in motion without regard to the total loaded weight of the
vehicle. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the
direction the tongue is coming from) until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure
the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. Adjust the belt to the proper position;
snug and as low as possible around the hips, not around the waist. To unfasten, push
the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle.
Inspect the safety belts periodically to make sure they work properly and are not
damaged. Inspect the safety belts to make sure there are no nicks, tears or cuts.
Replace if necessary. A qualified service technician should inspect all safety belt
assemblies after a collision. Thor Motor Coach recommends that all safety belt
assemblies used in vehicles involved in a collision be replaced.
If your child requires a child safety restraint system (seat), Thor Motor Coach
recommends installing the child safety seat in the forward facing booth dinette
position. For rear-facing child seats and infant carriers, the dinette table can be
placed in the "down" position to allow adequate room for the rear facing child seat.
If your motorhome is not equipped with a forward facing booth dinette seat, we
recommend that small children that require a child seat not be transported in a
motorhome.
Please Note:
Rear-facing child seats or infant carriers should never be placed in the front
seats.
Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving.
You are required by law to use safety restraints for children in the U.S. and
Canada. If small children (generally children who are four years old or younger
and who weigh 18 kg [40 lbs] or less) ride in your vehicle, you must put them
in safety seats Made especially for children.
DO NOT OCCUPY BEDS OR ANY OTHER SEATS THAT
ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY SEAT BELTS WHILE
THE Motorhome IS IN MOTION. DO NOT USE A SEAT
BELT ON MORE THAN ONE PERSON.
ALL OCCUPANTS MUST BE SEATED AT A DESIGNATED
SEATING POSITION AND MUST WEAR A SEATBELT AT
ALL TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
FAILURE TO INSPECT AND IF NECESSARY REPLACE
THE SAFETY BELT UNDER THE ABOVE CONDITIONS
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURIES IN
THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.
