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 teth-
er 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
properly can cause excessive move-
ment 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 re-
duce the effectiveness 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.
