PART 5: SEAT AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Tether Belts
Passengers
Anyone riding in your vehicle should wear a seat belt. The
responsible operator sees to it that everyone in the vehicle
rides safely - and that means with a seat belt.
Some Other Safety Restraint Tips:
• Don’t wear belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on
your clothing. Such things might be eyeglasses, pens,
keys, etc. These could cause injury in an accident.
• Damaged belts in the cab must be replaced. Belts that
have been stretched, cut, or worn out may not protect
you in an accident.
• Avoid catching belts in the doors or seat hardware.
They could be damaged.
• Don’t modify or disassemble the seat belts in your ve-
hicle. They won’t be available to keep you and your
passengers safe.
• Never bleach or dye seat belts; chemicals can weaken
them. Do, however, keep them clean by following the
care label on the belts. Let them dry completely before
allowing them to retract.
• If any seat belt is not working properly, see an autho-
rized Peterbilt dealer for repair or replacement.
Tether Belts
Tether belts are installed on suspension seats. They help
secure the seat to the
fl
oor to restrain it in case of a sudden
stop or an accident.
WARNING! Do not remove, modify, or replace
the tether belt system with a different tether sys-
tem. A failed or missing tether belt could allow
a seat base to fully extend in the event of an ac-
cident leading to greater injuries or death.
