LAP BELT INSPECTION
Periodically inspect belts, buckles, retractors,
and anchors for damage that could lessen the
effectiveness of the restraint system.
Keep sharp edges and pointed objects away
from belts.
Replace belts if cut, weakened, frayed, or
subjected to collision loads.
Check that the anchor mounting bolts are
tight.
Have questionable parts replaced .
Keep belts clean and dry.
Clean only with mild soap solution and luke-
warm water.
Do not bleach or dye belts since this may
severely weaken them.
CHILD RESTRAINT
Children in vehicles should be restrained to
lessen the risk of injury in accidents, sudden
stops or other hazardous situations. In using any
infant or child restraint system, read and comply
with all installation and usage instructions .
All unused seat belts near the child should be
stowed properly to help prevent them from
striking him in the event of an accident . Lap
belts without storage provisions should have
buckles latched and belts adjusted to remove
slack.
VEHICLES NOT EQUIPPED WITH
SPECIAL CHILD RESTRAINTS
If a child is traveling in a vehicle not equipped
with a safe infant or child restraint system, the
following precautions should be taken :
1 . Infants unable to sit up by themselves
should be restrained by placing them in a cov-
ered, padded bassinet placed crossways in the
vehicle (widthwise) on the rear-facing dinette
seat . The bassinet should be securely restrained
with the regular vehicle lap belts .
2. Children able to sit up by themselves
should be placed on a seat and lap belted. Never
allow a child to stand or kneel on any seat or
elsewhere in the vehicle, once it is underway .
3. A child who can sit up by himself but can-
not see out the window should sit on a firm
cushion with the regular lap belt restraining him
at the hips. The cushion should be as firm as
practical and just high enough to enable the
child to look horizontally out of the window.
The use of a cushion should be discontinued as
soon as the child is old enough to see out of the
windows without it.
4. It is recommended that children be re-
strained properly at all times when riding.
OPERATION IN
FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Your vehicle's engine is designed to operate
on fuel of approximately 91 research octane
number or higher, commonly sold in the United
States or Canada.
If you plan to operate your vehicle outside
the continental limits of the United States or
Canada, there is a possibility that the best fuels
available are so low in anti-knock quality that
excessive knocking and serious engine damage
may result from their use. To minimize this pos-
sibility, write to GMC Truck & Coach Division,
General Motors Corporation, Pontiac, Michigan
48053 (or in Canada write to General Motors
of Canada Limited, Owner Relations Depart-
ment, Oshawa, Ontario), giving :
The vehicle identification number (from
plate attached to right side of dash panel or
from the registration slip or title) .
The country or countries in which you plan
to travel .
You will be furnished information on the
quality of fuels available in the countries in
which you plan to travel . It is recommended that
you not operate your Motor Home in any
country not having fuels meeting the require-
ments of your vehicle engine. Engine modifica-
tions are not available to compensate for low
anti-knock quality fuels. Operation of your ve-
hicle under conditions of continuous or excessive
knocking constitutes misuse of the engine for
which the manufacturer is not responsible under
the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty .
