DRIVING YOUR MOTORHOME
• Inspect the belts and hardware periodically.
Check for cuts, frays, and loose parts.
Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not
remove or modify the belt system.
• Keep belts clean and dry. If the belts need
cleaning, use only a mild soap and water
solution. Do not use hot water. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, bleach, or dyes. These
products may weaken the belts.
• Replace any belt assembly that was used
during a severe impact. Replace the complete
assembly even if damage is not apparent.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
–If Equipped
A properly installed and secured child
restraint system can help reduce the chance or
severity of personal injury to a child in an
accident or during a sudden maneuver. Children
may have a greater chance of being injured in an
accident if they are seated in a child restraint
system which is not properly secured. Children
are always safer in the rear seats (behind the cab
area).
A child restraint system is designed to be
secured in a vehicle seat by a lap belt or the lap
belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
When purchasing a child restraint system,
follow these guidelines:
1. Look for the label certifying that it meets all
applicable safety standards.
2. Make sure that it will attach to your vehicle
and restrain your child securely and
conveniently so that you are able to install it
correctly each time it is used.
3. Be certain that it is appropriate for the child's
height, weight, and development. The
instructions and/or the regulation label
attached to the restraint typically provides this
information.
4. Review the instructions for installation and
use of the restraint. Be sure that you
understand them fully and can install the
restraint properly and safely in your vehicle.
Tether Anchor Loop
–If Equipped
If your motorhome has a dinette, it may be
equipped with a child seat tether anchor loop
located on the floor or wall directly behind the
forward facing dinette seat.
NOTE: The dinette table must be in the lowered
position when a child seat is in use.
Further Information
See the child seat manufacturer’s specific
instructions for proper attachment and
adjustment of the tether and seat belts.
1. Lower the dinette table.
2. Route the tether over the top of the dinette
seat back and hook it to the anchor loop on
the floor.
3. Fasten the lap belt.
