IMPORTANT
All seat belt retractors are equipped with locks
that engage when the belt moves too fast.
Move the spade end slowly and steadily when
fastening to prevent locking. If belt locks
while fastening, release end and let it retract
fully. Then pull again to fasten.
4.6 SEAT/SHOULDER BELTS
Several seats are equipped with lap or lap/shoulder belts and are the only seats approved for occupancy
when travelling. Every occupant must be seated in one of the approved seats with the belt fastened whenev-
er the motorhome is moving. Accident statistics prove the importance of the need to use seat belts. Vehicle
occupants not seated in an approved seat and restrained with a seat belt risk injuries of a more serious nature
than those properly restrained.

Lap/Shoulder Belts:
The driver and co-pilot seats are equipped with a combination lap and shoulder belt for maximum restraint
next to the front of the unit.
a. Sit in the seat and rotate the seat until it is facing
forward and the latch locks.
b. Pull the spade end of seat belt across the body 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 fl at belt distrib-
utes impact loads over a wider area of the body to
reduce the chance of injury.
d. Slide the lap portion of the safety belt system low
on the torso to distribute the load across the hip/pel-
vis area.
e. Slide the shoulder strap so it lays diagonally across
the chest and shoulder area. Do not lay it against
the neck.
f. Depress the button on the buckle to release the belt
assembly. Hold the belt as it is released to prevent
it from retracting too quickly.
