2. Lap Belts:
The dinette seats are equipped with lap belts.
Never travel in a seat that is not equipped with
a lap belt.
a. Sit in the seat.
b. Pull the spade end of the seat belt across
the lap and insert it into the buckle. Be
sure the buckle “clicks” to indicate that the
spade is locked securely in place.
c. Be sure the belt is not twisted to minimize
load concentrations during impact. A flat
belt distributes impact loads over a wider
area of the body to reduce the chance of
injury.
d. Slide the strap low on the torso and touch-
ing the top of the thighs to distribute the
impact load through the hip/pelvic area.
e. Depress the button on the buckle to re-
lease the spade/belt assembly. Hold the
belt as it is released to prevent it from
retracting too quickly.
3. Pregnancy:
Pregnant women should wear their lap belts
low on their torsos and shoulder straps diago-
nally across their chests. Do not position the
strap against the neck. Wearing a seat or
shoulder/lap belt properly will protect both the
mother and the unborn child.
4. Child Restraints:
Child restraint systems are a legal requirement
in most jurisdictions of North America. Statis-
tics prove that children not secured with a
certified child restraint systems experience
more severe and more frequent injuries than
those properly restrained. In order to provide
the safest restraint system for your child during
transport, follow these considerations when
selecting an appropriate child restraint system:
a. Purchase a child restraint system that is
labelled to be certified to all applicable US
Motor Vehicle and Canadian Children's Car
Seats and Harness Regulations.
b. Make sure the system will attach to your
vehicle conveniently and provide safety for
your child every time it is used.
c. Be sure the restraint system is suitable and
adequate for your child's age, weight and
height. Check the label for this information.
d. Review the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system. Be sure that anyone
placing a child restraint system in a vehicle
fully understands how it must be located,
anchored and used. Improperly placed or
anchored restraints will not provide an
acceptable level of safety for your child.
