Safety Belts
This section of the manual describes how to
use safety belts properly. It also describes
some things not to do with safety belts.
Warning
Do not let anyone ride where a safety
belt cannot be worn properly. In a crash,
if you or your passenger(s) are not
wearing safety belts, injuries can be
much worse than if you are wearing
safety belts. You can be seriously injured
or killed by hitting things inside the
vehicle harder or by being ejected from
the vehicle. In addition, anyone who is
not buckled up can strike other
passengers in the vehicle.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a
(Continued)
Warning
Vehicle. In a collision, passengers riding
in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed. Do not allow
passengers to ride in any area of the
vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and safety belts.
Always wear a safety belt, and check
that all passenger(s) are restrained
properly too.
Why Safety Belts Work
When riding in a vehicle, you travel as fast
as the vehicle does. If the vehicle stops
suddenly, you keep going until something
stops you. It could be the windshield, the
instrument panel, or the safety belts!
When you wear a safety belt, you and the
vehicle slow down together. There is more
time to stop because you stop over a longer
distance and, when worn properly, your
strongest bones take the forces from the
safety belts. That is why wearing safety
belts make such good sense.
24
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
This section is only for people of adult size.
Follow those rules for everyone's
protection.
It is very important for all occupants to
buckle up. Statistics show that unbelted
people are hurt more often in crashes than
those who are wearing safety belts. There
are important things to know about
wearing a safety belt properly
Sit up straight and always keep
your feet on the floor in front of
you.
Always use the correct buckle for
your seating position.
Wear the lap part of the belt low
and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs. In a crash,
this applies force to the strong
pelvic bones and you would be
less likely to slide under the lap
belt. If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force on your
abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
Wear the shoulder belt over the
shoulder and across the chest.
These parts of the body are best
able to take belt restraining
forces. The shoulder belt locks if
there is a sudden stop or crash.
Warning
You can be seriously injured, or even
killed, by not wearing your safety belt
properly.
Never allow the lap or
shoulder belt to become loose
or twisted.
Never wear the shoulder belt
under both arms or behind
your back.
Securing Lap-Shoulder Belt
Both Driver and Passenger seats have a lapshoulder belt. The following instructions
explain how to wear a lap-shoulder belt
properly.
1. Sit up straight
2. Grasp the latch plate and pull the
belt across your body. Do not
allow the belt to become twisted
25
3. If you pull rapidly the belt may
lock. If this occurs allow the belt
to retract slightly then continue
pulling the belt across your body
more slowly.
4. Push the latch plate in to the
buckle until a click is heard
5. Pull on the latch plate to ensure it
is secure.
6. To make the Lap Belt tight, pull
up on the shoulder belt
Unlatching Lap and Shoulder Belt
To unlatch the belt, press
the red button on the
buckle, the belt will return to
its stowed position.

Power Outlet
The accessory power outlets can be used to
plug in electrical equipment, such as a cell
phone. The vehicle has an accessory power
outlet in the accessory tray on the
passenger side of dash.
Remove the cover to access and replace
when not in use.
Warning
Power is always supplied to the outlets.
Do not leave electrical equipment
plugged in when the vehicle is not in use
because the vehicle could catch fire and
cause injury or death.
29
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment plugged in
for an extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the battery.
Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the maximum
20 amp rating.
Certain accessory power plugs may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet
and could overload vehicle or adapter
fuses. If a problem is experienced, contact
Vanderhall Service.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure
to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the equipment.
Warning Lights, Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying attention to
the warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly when
the engine is started to indicate they are
working. When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while driving, or
when one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do repairs
can be costly and even dangerous.
