firmly pull the restraint forward again until it releases to the

LumbarIHeater Seat Controls (Fleetwood Brougham)
With this feature, you can change the shape of the driver’s or passenger’s
seatback. Adjust the power seat control first to get the proper position.
For the best adjustment, it is recommended that you first start with the
“MIDDLE” lumbar.
MIDDLE (Back
Support): Adjust
support for the
middle back.
UPPER (Back
Support): Adjust
support for the
upper back.
LOWER (Back
Support): Adjust
support for the
lower back.
Push the switch to either
“HI” or “LO” to turn on the heating element in
the seat.
Designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days, the
“LO” setting
warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates body
temperature.
On colder days, the “HI” setting heats the seats to an even
higher temperature.
To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the seats,
the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to automatically
maintain the temperature at the setting selected. A telltale light on the
control switch reminds
you that the heating system is in use. To preserve
the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the ignition is turned
on, and is deactivated when the ignition is turned
off.

SAFETYBELTS: THEY’RE FOR EVERYONE
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also
tells you some things you should not
do with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag”
system.
This figure lights up as a reminder to buckle up. (See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light” in the Index.)
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.
Here’s why: They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have a crash, you don’t
know if it will be a bad one.

1-
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even
buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most crashes are in between.
In many
of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In
most crashes buckling
up does matter ... a lot!

why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes.
When the bike hits the
block, it stops. But the
child keeps going!

HERE ARE QUESTIONS “Y PEOPLE
ANSWERS ASKABOUT SAFETYBELTS
-AND THE
Q: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident ifI’m wearing a safety
belt?
A: You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can easily unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And
your chance
of being conscious during and after an accident, so you
can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.
Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags so people won’t have to wear safety
belts?
A: Air bags, or Supplemental Inflatable Restraint systems, are in some
vehicles today and will be in more
of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
-- so they work with safety belts, not
instead
of them. Every air bag system ever offered for sale has
required the use
of safety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that has
air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most protection. That’s
true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and other
collisions.
Q : rf I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear
safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident -- even
one that isn’t your fault
-- you and your passengers can be hurt.
Being a good driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km) of home. And the
greatest number
of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less
than
40 mph (65 kmk).
Safety belts are for everyone.
