Safety system of your vehicle
Do not lie down
Care of seat belts
To reduce the chance of injury in the
event of an accident and to achieve
maximum effects of the restraint sys-
tem, all passengers should seat in an
upright position in front and rear
seats when the vehicle is in motion.
Proper protection cannot be provid-
ed, when an occupant lies on rear
seats, or when a seat is reclined.
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi-
tion, care should be taken not to
damage seat belts or belt assem-
blies by seat hinges, doors or other
abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be checked on a
regular basis for any wear-out or
damage. Any damaged parts should
be replaced as soon as possible.
DANGER
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
The protection of your restraint
system (seat belts and air bags)
increasingly reduces, when
your seat is reclined. A seat belt
must be snug against your hips
and chest to properly operate.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. When belts become dirty, clean
them with mild soap and warm water.
Bleach, dye, strong detergents or
abrasives should not be used,
because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
The
more
a
seatback
is
reclined, the greater the chance
that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap portion of a
seat belt, causing serious inter-
nal injury or hard pressure on
the occupant's neck from the
shoulder portion of a seat belt.
Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their
seats, be properly belted, and
put their seatbacks upright.
When to replace seat belts
An entire seat belt assembly should
be replaced after an accident. This
should be done, even when no dam-
age is visible. Consult an authorized
EQUUS dealer for additional ques-
tions about the seat belt operation.
