SAFETY RESTRAINT BELTS • Be sure, also, that your belt is not too loose. A loose belt could allow you to slide under it in an accident, and that could bring the belt up around your abdomen. • Do not twist the belt in the process of putting it on. A twisted belt will not work as well to protect you. WARNING! Always wear your seat belt low over your pelvic bones. • You can be killed or seriously injured if your belt is buckled too high. In a crash, it would apply force to your abdomen, not your pelvic bones. This can result in death or serious internal injuries. • Do not drive with your seat belt loose. A seat belt that is too loose can allow you to fall too far forward, possibly causing head and neck injuries, resulting in death or personal injury. You could strike the wheel or the windshield. Adjust your belt so that there is no more than 1 in. (25mm) of slack. SEATS WARNING! Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm or otherwise out of position. In a crash your body would move too far forward, increasing the chance of death or head and neck injury. Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which are not as strong as your shoulder bones, and could cause you to suffer internal injuries. Wear the shoulder belt over your shoulder (see “Safety Restraint Belts” on page 73). WARNING! Do not twist the belt in the process of putting it on. A twisted belt will not work as well to protect you. In a crash, the full width of the belt would not be protecting you. A twisted belt could cut into your body and cause death or serious injuries. Straighten the belt before buckling it. If you are unable to wear it without twisting it, have your dealer or service person repair it as soon as possible. – 76 – Y53-6033 Regional Haul (R05/10)

SEATS Safety Restraint Tips NOTE: Per FMCSR 392.60 - Unauthorized Persons Not to be Transported. Federal law prohibits the transportation of persons in commercial vehicles unless they are specifically authorized in writing by the motor carrier. See the cited FMCSR for a complete description of the regulation and exemptions. • Any authorized person riding in your vehicle should wear a seat belt. A responsible operator sees to it that everyone in the vehicle rides safely—and that means with a seat belt. • Do not strap in more than one person with each belt. • Do not wear a belt over rigid or breakable objects in or on your clothing, such as eye glasses, pens, keys, etc., as these may cause injury in an accident. • Several layers of heavy clothing may interfere with proper positioning of belts and reduce the overall effectiveness of the system. • Keep belt buckles free of any obstruction that may prevent secure locking. SAFETY RESTRAINT BELTS • Damaged or worn belts, subjected to excessive stretch forces from crashes, cuts or tears, or normal wear, must be replaced—they may not protect you if you have an accident. • If belts show damage to any part of assembly, such as webbing, bindings, buckles or retractors, they must be replaced. • Do not allow safety belts to become damaged by getting caught in door or seat hardware, or rubbing against sharp objects. • The belts must be kept clean or the retractors may not work properly. • Never bleach or dye seat belts: chemicals can weaken them. Do, however, keep them clean by following the care label on the belts. Let them dry completely before allowing them to retract. • Make sure the belt of the unoccupied passenger seat is fully wound up on its retractor, so that the belt tongue is in its stowed position. This reduces the possibility of the tongue becoming a striking object in case of a sudden stop. • Do not modify or disassemble the seat belts in your vehicle. They will not be available to keep you and your passengers safe. Regional Haul (R05/10) Y53-6033 – 77 –
