2. Lap Belts:
Only seats equipped with seat belts are approved
for use by occupants while the vehicle is moving.
Never travel in a seat that is not equipped with a
lap or shoulder belt.
a. Sit in the seat and rotate the chair to its
locked position.
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 at
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 touching
the top of the thighs to distribute the impact
load through the hip/pelvic area.
e. Depress the button on the buckle to release
the spade/belt assembly. Hold the belt as it
is released to prevent it from retracting too
quickly.
3. Pregnancy:
COMMANDER / EMBASSY
Fig. 4-10 LAP BELT
Pregnant women should wear their lap belts low on
their torsos and shoulder straps diagonally 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. Statistics prove that
children not secured with a certied child restraint
system experience more severe and more frequent in-
juries than those properly restrained. In order to pro-
vide 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 certied 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 ad-
equate 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 under-
stands how it must be located, anchored and
used. Improperly placed or anchored restraints
will not provide an acceptable level of safety for
your child.
