Seat
For information on the features and adjustment of the seat, see the
seat manufacturer’s literature included with the vehicle.
Seat Belts And Their Proper Use
Seat (or safety) belts have proven to be the single most effective
means available for reducing the risk of serious injury and death in
motor vehicle accidents. It’s not just an opinion -- it’s a fact: Seat
belts save lives.
Shoulder Belt
Your combination shoulder-lap belt needs proper adjustment:
• The lap portion should be worn as low on the hips as possible.

WARNING! Do not adjust the driver’s seat while the
vehicle is moving. The seat could move suddenly and
unexpectedly and can cause you to lose control of the
vehicle. Make all adjustments to the seat while the vehi-
cle is stopped. After adjusting the seat and before driv-
ing off, ensure that the seat is firmly latched in position.
WARNING! Do not drive vehicle without your seat belt
and your riders’ belt fastened. Riding without a safety
belt properly fastened can lead to increased injury or
death in an emergency. Unbelted riders could be thrown
into the windshield or other parts of the cab or could be
thrown out of the cab. They could strike another person.
Injuries can be much worse when riders are unbelted.
Always fasten your seat belt
WARNING! Do not drive or ride with your seat back in the
reclined position. You could be injured by sliding under the
seat belts in a collision.
