EBU31800Seat beltsMake sure that the seat belts are not frayed,
torn, stretched, or damaged. The seat belts
must move smoothly when pulled out and re-
tract on its own when released. The seat belts
must also lock up when quickly pulled out.
The latch plate should click securely into the
buckle and release when the release button is
pushed firmly. Wash off any dirt or mud that
could affect operation. Have a Yamaha dealer
repair as necessary for proper operation.
A crash can damage the restraint systems in
your vehicle. A damaged restraint system
may not properly protect the person using it,
resulting in serious injury or death in a crash.

working properly after a crash, have them in-
spected and any necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.

As the owner/operator, it is your responsibility
to protect yourself and your passenger from
accidents, including rollovers. The YXZ1000R
has many features, including a protective
structure and seat belts, to help protect occu-
pants, but the best way to avoid injuries is to
avoid accidents. There is a risk of injury or
death in any accident, even with these safety
features.

The YXZ1000R comes with a variety of fea-
tures to help reduce the risk of driver and pas-
senger injury. These features work together,
and when properly used, these features will
help protect the occupants in the event of an
accident. If these features are not used prop-
erly, they can cause injury.

Protective structure
The vehicle cage/frame provides a protective
structure that helps limit intrusions by branch-
es or other objects and may reduce your risk
of injury in accidents. The protective structure
will not protect occupants in all rollovers or
accidents.
Body parts outside of vehicle can be struck
by passing objects or crushed during vehicle
rollover. Do not put your hands or feet outside
of the vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto
the door, cage/frame or shoulder bolster.
Wear your seat belt and helmet.
If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or
roll, do not put your hands or feet outside the
vehicle for any reason. You will not be able to
stop the vehicle from tipping over using your
body. Any part of your body (arms, legs, or
head) outside of the vehicle can be crushed
by the vehicle cage/frame. Seat belts
Seat belts should be worn by the driver and
passenger. The driver must be sure that the
passenger is belted before driving.

Be sure the seat belt is not twisted, is close-
fitting across the hips and chest, and is
latched securely.
 Do not wear the seat belt across the abdo-
men or stomach.
 Do not put the seat belt behind the back.
Failure to use seat belts properly may lead to
an increased likelihood and severity of injury.
An unbelted occupant may strike the interior
of the vehicle, the protective structure, or oth-
er objects in an accident or during operation.
You may also fall completely out or be partial-
ly ejected from the vehicle, which may lead to
being crushed between the ground and the
vehicle. Wearing the seat belt helps you re-
main in the vehicle – the doors and passenger
handhold are not a substitute for using a seat
belt.UB0F7AE0.book Page 5 Monday, November 6, 2017 2:30 PM
