properly use the seat belts and
bunk restraint in the vehicle.
• DO NOT strap in more than one
person with each belt.
• Keep seat belt and bunk restraint
buckles free of any obstruction that
may prevent secure locking.
• Damaged or worn belts in the cab
or sleeper subjected to excessive
stretch forces from normal wear,
must be replaced. They may not
protect you if you are in an
accident.
• Any belts or restraints that have
been subjected to an accident
should be inspected for any loose
(attaching) hardware or damaged
buckles.
• If belts show damage to any part of
assembly, such as webbing,
bindings, buckles or retractors,
they must be replaced.
• DO NOT allow safety belts (seat or
bunk) to become damaged by
getting caught in door, bunk, or
seat hardware, or rubbing against
sharp objects.
• All belts must be kept clean or the
retractors may not work properly.
• Never bleach or dye seat or bunk
restraint 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 or be stowed away.
• Make sure the seat belts and bunk
restraint of the unoccupied
passenger seat or bunk is fully
wound up on its retractor or is
stowed, so that the belt or restraint
tongue is in its properly stowed
position. This reduces the
possibility of the tongue becoming
a striking object in case of a
sudden stop.
• DO NOT modify or disassemble
the seat belts or bunk restraint in
your vehicle. They will not be
available to keep you and your
passengers safe.
• If any seat belt or bunk restraint is
not working properly, see an
authorized dealer for repair or
replacement.
