Seats Safety Restraint Belts The right and left seats are equipped with 3-point lap/shoulder belts; the center seat has a 2-point seat belt. Safety belts have proven to be the single most effective means available for reducing the potential for either serious injury or death in motor vehicle accidents. Therefore, read and follow these instructions and always observe user warnings pertaining to safety belts. Operating Instructions WARNING! Do not drive vehicle without your seat belt and your riders’ belts fastened. Riding without a safety belt which is properly fastened can lead to increased injury or death in an accident. 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 fasten your seat belt and be sure anyone riding with you does the same. Unbelted Person in Crash 0917A Lap/Shoulder Belt 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. To fasten the belt: 1. Grasp the belt tongue. 2. Pull the belt in a continuous slow motion across your chest and lap. – 44 – PB1318 3/01 Model 330
