Combination Lap And Shoulder Belts; Safety Belt Maintenance; Safety Restraints For Children - Fleetwood Flair 1998 User Manual

While your vehicle is in motion, the combination lap and
shoulder belt adjusts to your movement. However, if you
brake hard, corner hard or if your vehicle receives an impact,
the lap and shoulder belt locks and prevents you from
movmg.
To fasten the belt, pull the lap-shoulder belt from the extrac-
tor 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.
To tighten the lap portion of the belt, pull up on the shoulder
belt until it fits you snugly. The belt should rest as low on
your hips as possible.
Check your safety belt system periodically to make sure that
it works properly and isn't damaged. If the webbing shows
any wear, nicks or cuts, have it examined by a qualified tech-
nician to determine if replacement is necessary. Always have
your safety belt system checked after a collision.
In most states, you are required by law to use safety
restraints for children. If small children (less than four years
old, and under 40 pounds) 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.

WARNING
I
When using any infant or child restraint system, it is important that you
follow the instructions and warnings provided by the manufacturer con·
cerning its installation and use. Failure to follow each of the restraint
manufacturer's instructions could increase the risk or severity of an
injury in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed
up in sunny weather, and could burn a small child. Check seat covers
and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them.
