Front Seat Swivel:
The cab seats swivel for convenience when you
are on site. However, when the vehicle is being
driven they MUST be locked in their forward
position.
Wheels:
In the event of a puncture, ensure that
the replacement wheel is of the same
construction and size as the one that
is being removed. The tyre pressures
must be suitable for the use to which
they are being put. The minimum tread
depth must be 1.6mm throughout a

Dedicated travelling passenger seating
Seat belts are tted to all travelling seats.
Designated travelling seats have been tted
to some layouts to ensure the safety of your
passengers. These seats vary according to
the layout that you have purchased. Each
seatbelt frame is tested to the relevant safety
requirements.
NEVER travel in or attempt to install a
seatbelt to a non-designated seat.
Side facing seats are for habitation use only,
not for use when the vehicle is in motion.
Seat Belt Legislation
Seat Belts must be worn when the vehicle is in
motion by the driver and all adult passengers.
In addition children, aged up to three years of
age, must wear an appropriate child restraint
such as a child or booster seat suitable for
their age and weight. Children over 135 cm
(4’5”) in height or aged over 12 years must
wear a seat belt.
It is the legal responsibility of the driver to
ensure children aged up to 14 years old are
suitably restrained. For passengers aged 14
and over, it is their responsibility (not the
driver’s).
Seat belts are tted for you and
your passenger’s safety and must be
worn unless you have a ‘Certicate
of exemption from Compulsory Seat Belt
Wearing’ This certicate must be produced if
asked for by the police – Seatbelt offences may
result in a ne.
Child seats
Positioning/ Fitting
Dependent upon the child seat type, the most
suitable position for a child seat to be tted
may be the front passenger seat of the cab
(NOTE Follow the airbag advice) or the window
seat of the forward facing rear seat. The aisle
seat in the rear is not a recommended position.
Advice should always be taken from the retailer
on the suitability and security of the seat in the
motorhome.
All of the motorhomes are tted with inertia
seatbelts; however, the child seat must be tight
in the adult seat. Push all your weight into
the child seat as you tighten the belt. Keep a
copy of the child seat tting instruction in the
motorhome for easy reference.
Airbag
Never t a rear-facing child restraint in
a seat with an active airbag in front of
it.
Forward-facing child restraints should be
positioned as far back from the airbag as
possible. Check the base vehicle handbook.
Three point seat belts located in the habitation
compartment of your motorhome.
Fastening the seat belt:
Insert the buckle into the plug in socket until it
clicks. The clicking noise will indicate a correct
assembly.
