DO NOT OCCUPY BEDS OR ANY OTHER SEATS THAT<br />

ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY SEAT BELTS<br />

WHILE THE MOTOR HOME IS IN MOTION. DO NOT<br />

USE A SEAT BELT ON MORE THAN ONE PERSON.<br />

Pilot and co-pilot seats must be locked in a forward facing position with seat belts<br />

fastened while the motor home is in motion. Avoid seat rotation while in transit.<br />

The sleeping accommodations in this vehicle are designed for occupancy only while<br />

the vehicle is parked. All occupants in this vehicle must be seated at a designated<br />

seating position and must wear seat belts at all times while this vehicle is in motion.<br />

ALL OCCUMPANTS MUST BE SEATED AT A<br />

DESIGNATED SEATING POSITION AND MUST WEAR<br />

A SEATBELT AT ALL TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN<br />

MOTION<br />

Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny<br />

weather; they could burn a small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you<br />

place a child anywhere near them.<br />

All occupants must be furnished with and use seat belts while the motor home is<br />

moving. However, it is not intended for all seats to be simultaneously occupied<br />

while the vehicle is in motion without regard to the total loaded weight of the<br />

vehicle. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the<br />

direction the tongue is coming from) until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure<br />

the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. Adjust the belt to the proper position;<br />

snug and as low as possible around the hips, not around the waist. To unfasten, push<br />

the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle.<br />

FAILURE TO INSPECT AND IF NECESSARY REPLACE<br />

THE SAFETY BELT UNDER THE ABOVE CONDITIONS<br />

COULD RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURIES IN<br />

THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.<br />

Inspect the safety belts periodically to make sure they work properly and are not<br />

damaged. Inspect the safety belts to make sure there are no nicks, tear or cuts.<br />

Replace if necessary. A qualified service technician should inspect all safety belt<br />

assemblies after a collision. <strong>Thor</strong> <strong>Motor</strong> <strong>Coach</strong> recommends that all safety belt<br />

assemblies used in vehicles involved in a collision be replaced.<br />

If your child requires a child safety restraint system (seat), <strong>Thor</strong> <strong>Motor</strong> <strong>Coach</strong><br />

recommends installing the child safety seat in the forward facing booth dinette<br />

position. For rear-facing child seats and infant carriers, the dinette table can be<br />

placed in the “down” position to allow adequate room for the rear facing child seat.<br />

If your motor home is not equipped with a forward facing booth dinette seat, we<br />

recommend that small children that require a child seat not be transported in a<br />

motor home. Please Note:<br />

• Rear-facing child seats or infant carriers should never be placed in the<br />

front seats.<br />

• Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is<br />

moving.<br />

• You are required by law to use safety restraints for children in the U.S.<br />

and Canada. If small children (generally children who are four years old<br />

or younger and who weigh 18 kg<br />

[40 lbs] or less) ride in your vehicle, you must put them in safety seats<br />

made especially for children.<br />

Note: Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific<br />

requirements regarding the safety of children in your vehicle.<br />
