Bunk Restraint Operation

1. Starting at the foot of the bunk, pull the link end
of the belt up far enough to engage the buckle.
See Fig. 7.13.
2.
Fasten the belt by pushing the link end into the
buckle until it latches. Make sure that the belt is
not twisted. Check the engagement by trying to
pull the link out of the buckle. If they come apart,
repeat this step. If the problem continues, re-
place the belt. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the
other two belts located in the middle and upper
portion of the bunk to lock the restraint in place.
3.
To release the bunk restraint, push the release
button on the buckle at the head of the bunk and
pull the link from the buckle.
Repeat this step for the other two buckles to
completely release the bunk restraint.

Steering Wheel Air Bag

Operation
NOTE: Only vehicles with the letters "SRS"
molded into the steering wheel center pad are
equipped with a steering wheel air bag.
The air bag, when used with seat belts, provides ad-
ditional protection to the driver in severe frontal colli-
sions. Steering wheel air bags are designed to inflate
only in severe frontal collisions. The driver and the
passenger should always wear seat belts. The steer-
ing wheel air bag will activate during a collision even
if the seat belts are not fastened, but the system is
designed to provide protection to the occupant only
when the seat belts are fastened.
WARNING
Keep all heavy objects in the cab secured. Do not
place objects on the steering wheel or between
you and the steering wheel. Any such objects
may cause harm during an accident. Keep your
hands on the sides and lower portion of the
