4.4.1 LAP/SHOULDER BELTS:
The driver and passenger seats are equipped with a combination lap and shoulder belt for maximum restraint.
a. Sit in the seat.
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 at belt distributes 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/pelvis 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.
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.
4.4.2 LAP BELTS:
The Sofa or the Dinette seat 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 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.
4.4.3 PREGNANCY:
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.
