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.
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.
Y53-6060-1C1
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.
