Safety Restraint Belts
Safety belts have proven to be the single
most effective means available for
reducing the potential for either death or
personal injury in motor vehicle accidents.
The combination lap/shoulder belt is
equipped with a locking mechanism. The
system adjusts automatically to a person's
size and movements as long as the pull on
the belt is slow. Hard braking or a collision
locks the belt. The belt will also lock when
driving up or down a steep hill or in a sharp
curve.
Unbelted riders could be thrown into the
windshield or other parts of the cab or
could be thrown out of the cab. They could
strike another person. Injuries can be much
worse when riders are unbelted. Always
observe user warnings pertaining to safety
belts. Your vehicle is equipped with a seat
belt indicator lamp located on the dash.
WARNING
DO NOT drive vehicle without your
seat belt and your passengers' belts
fastened. Riding without a safety belt
properly fastened can lead to injury or
death in an emergency.
WARNING
DO NOT use the swivel function while
a passenger is in the seat and the ve-
hicle is in motion. The seat belt will not
provide proper protection if the pas-
senger is not facing forward and the
vehicle is in an accident. Failure to
comply may result in death or personal
injury.
