Tether Belts
This vehicle may have an external tether
belt installed with a seat, instead of the
internal tethering device. Tether belts are
designed to restrain the seat in the event of
a sudden stop or an accident. Internal
tether belts do not require adjustment.
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.
WARNING!
Do not remove, modify, or replace the tether
belt system with a different tether system. A
failed or missing 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 external tether belts proper-
ly 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 upward and forward position.
Failure to comply may result in death or per-
sonal injury.
Adjust an external tether by either
lengthening or shortening the strap. To
lengthen it:
1. Turn the buckle to a right angle to
the webbing.
2. Then pull the buckle.
To shorten the tether, pull on the strap.
Komfort-Latch
®
Feature
This device is 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.
WARNING!
Do not set the KomfortLatch
®
with too much
slack. Too much slack may reduce the effec-
tiveness of the seat belt. Failure to comply
may result in death or personal injury.
To eliminate cinching, simply activate the
Komfort-Latch
®
device 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.
4. While seated appropriately, push
the "on" button to engage the
Komfort-Latch.
5. Learn forward in the seat until you
hear a "click."
6. Return to normal driving position,
and the Komfort-Latch maintains the
preset amount of tension relief.

To disengage the mechanism unbuckle the
seat belt and then press the OFF button of
the Komfort-Latch
®
or tug on the shoulder
strap.
