FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Seat Belts
Failure to properly use seat belts and child restraints can result in serious injury or death. Always follow
all legal requirements for seat belt and child restraint use in on-road vehicles.
• Always make sure the seat belts are secured for operator and all passengers before operating.
• Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips
as possible. Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen.
• The operator and all passengers are subject to the same legal requirements for seat belt use as
occupants in other on-road vehicles. Always make sure children are properly restrained. Children
ages 12 and under should ride in a rear seat. Infants must always be restrained in a rear seat. Use
the type of restraint that is correct for your child. When using child safety seats, always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation and use in a vehicle containing only a shoulder/lap
belt restraint system. Visit www.seatcheck.org or call 1-866-SEATCHECK for more information
about child restraints.
