SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
WARNING!
Do not remove, modify, or replace
the tether belt system with a differ-
ent tether system. A failed or miss-
ing tether belt could allow the seat
base to fully extend in the event of
an accident. Failure to comply may
result in death or personal injury.
WARNING!
Failure to adjust tether belts properly
can cause excessive movement of
the seat in an accident. Tether belts
should be adjusted so that they are
taut when the seat is in its most up-
ward and forward position. Failure
to comply may result in death or per-
sonal injury.
To adjust an external tether belt:
•
Make sure that the tether belt is
attached to the cab floor and seat
frame. It should be routed through
the buckle on each side.
•
Often the attachments are made
using a split-type hook. Make sure
both halves of the hook are around
the anchor bracket.
•
To lengthen the tether, turn the
buckle to a right angle to the
webbing. Then pull the buckle.
To shorten the tether, pull on the
strap.
Komfort-Latch® Feature
Your vehicle includes a feature
designed to eliminate cinching and
provide improved safety and comfort.
Cinching is the condition where a belt
becomes continually tighter around
you during a rough, bouncy ride. The
need for this feature increases with
rough road conditions, particularly over
long distances.
To eliminate cinching, simply activate
the Komfort-Latch® feature located
on the seat belt webbing at the
appropriate time:
1. Adjust the seat to its proper driving
position.
2. Latch the seat belt.
3. If available, adjust the seat belt
height adjuster to a comfortable
driving position.
