FEATURES AND CONTROLS Seat Belts This vehicle is equipped with three-point lap and diagonal seat belts on all seats. Always make sure the seat belts are secured for the driver and passenger before operating. WARNING! The SLINGSHOT is a motorcycle (not a car) and does not meet automotive frontal crash and impact standards. In the event of a rollover or crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to be thrown from a vehicle and die than a person wearing a safety belt. To wear the seat belt properly, follow this procedure: 1. For 3-point belts, pull the seat belt latch downward and across your chest toward the latch housing at the outer edge of the seat. The belt should fit snugly across your hips and diagonally across your chest. Make sure the belt is not twisted. 2. Push the latch plate into the latch housing until it clicks. 3. Release the strap, it will self-tighten. WARNING! Failure to wear the seat belt properly could result in serious injury or death. Wear the shoulder belt on the inside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your body. Latch Plate Latch Release Latch Housing 4. To release the seat belt, press the square red button at the center of the latch housing. Seat Belt Inspection Inspect all seat belts for proper operation before each use of the vehicle. 1. Push the latch plate into the latch housing until it clicks. The latch plate must slide smoothly into the housing. A click indicates that it's securely latched. 2. Push the red release latch at the center of the latch housing to make sure it releases freely. 3. Pull each seat belt completely out and inspect the full length for any damage, including cuts, wear, fraying or stiffness. If any damage is found, or if the seat belt does not operate properly, have the seat belt system checked and/or replaced by your authorized dealer. 4. To clean dirt or debris from the seat belts, sponge the straps with mild soap and water. Do not use bleach, dye or household detergents. 32
