WARNING
Use the shoulder belt on the outside shoulder only.
Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm. Never
swing it around the neck over the inside shoulder.
Failure to follow these precautions could increase the
risk and/or severity of injury in an accident.
To fasten the belt, pull the lap/shoulder belt
from the retractor so that the shoulder portion of
the belt crosses your shoulder and chest. Insert
the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you
hear a snap and feel it latch.(For more details on
seat belt usage, see Manufacturers Usage
Manual).
To tighten the lap portion of the belt, pull up on
the shoulder belt until it fits you snugly. The lap
portion belt should rest as low on your hips as
possible.
In the event a longer seat belt is desired contact
your local authorized Fleetwood RV dealer for
assistance.
Safety Belt Maintenance
Check your safety belt system periodically to
make sure that it works properly and isn't dam-
aged. If the webbing shows any wear, nicks or
cuts, have it examined by a qualified technician
to determine if replacement is necessary. Always
have your safety belt system checked after a
collision.
SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR
CHILDREN
In most states, you are required by law to use
safety restraints for children. If small children ride
in your vehicle, you must put them in safety seats
that are made specially for children. Safety belts
alone do not provide maximum protection for
these children. Check your local and state laws for
specific requirements.
Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehi-
cle that has been closed up in sunny weather, and
could burn a child. Check seat covers and buck-
les before you place a child anywhere near them.
04-14
Children who are too large for child safety seats
should always wear safety belts.
!
WARNING
Never leave a child unattended in your vehicle. Always
remove the key from the ignition and take it with you.
Safety Belts for Children
If the shoulder belt cannot be properly positioned
so that it does not cross or rest in front of the
child's face or neck, move the child to one of the
seats with a lap belt only and use the lap belt.
Lap belts and the lap portion of lap and shoulder
belts should always be worn snugly and below
the hips, touching the child's thighs.
Children should use forward or rearward facing
seat positions, not seated facing sideways.
!
WARNING
If safety belts are not properly worn and adjusted as
described, the risk of serious injury to the child in a
collision will be much greater.
Children should always ride with the seatback in
the fully upright position. When the seatback is
not fully upright, there is a greater risk that the
child will slide under the safety belt and be seri-
ously injured in a collision.
Use a safety seat that is recommended for the
size and weight of the child. Seat backs should
be upright for use with child safety seats. Any
objects in close proximity which may come into
contact with the child in the event of an accident
or sudden stop should be removed.
!
WARNING
Place child safety seats only in forward facing (locked)
seating positions equipped with a restraint system.
