SAFETY
SEAT BELTS
Seat Belt Operation
To buckle the seat belt, grasp the latch
portion of the buckle, bring it across
your lap (from outboard to inboard) and
insert it into the fixed buckle which is
mounted to the floor or seat (depending
on seat type). With the belt properly
latched, the pelvic and upper torso
restraints will be in place and
automatically adjusted to provide a snug
fit.
Komfort® Latch Feature
If the constant tension of the buckled
seat belt causes any discomfort, engage
the Komfort® Latch as follows:
Engagement — Pull the webbing of the
shoulder belt away from the upper torso,
pulling only as much slack as needed
while still allowing the belt to exert slight
pressure against your chest and
shoulder. (Maximum amount of slack
should not exceed one inch when
measured from the chest to the belt.)
While holding the slack, lift the lever
located on top of the Komfort® Latch
mechanism upward to clamp the
webbing in place.
Normal Release — To unfasten the seat
belt, simply release the buckle and give
the shoulder belt a quick tug to release
the Komfort® Latch mechanism. Allow
the belt to retract into the retractor.
Emergency Release — In the event of an
emergency, release the seat belt buckle.
It is not necessary to release the
Komfort® Latch in an emergency
situation.
DANGER
Do NOT attempt to engage the Komfort®
Latch feature while the truck is in motion.
DANGER
If forward movement is required while the
Komfort® Latch mechanism is latched,
the latch automatically releases when you
lean against the shoulder portion of the
belt. Repeat the above steps to reset the
Komfort® Latch, if desired, after forward
movement is no longer required.
