Seat Belts and Tether Belts

General Information
Seat belt assemblies are designed to secure persons
in the vehicle to help reduce the chance of injury or
the amount of injury resulting from accidents or sud-
den stops. For this reason, Freightliner Custom
Chassis Corporation (FCCC) urges that the driver
and all passengers, regardless of age or physical
condition, use seat belts when riding in the vehicle.
Always use the vehicle's seat belt system when
operating the vehicle. Failure to do so can result
in severe personal injury or death.
Seat belt assemblies in FCCC vehicles meet Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 209, "Type 1" and
"Type 2" requirements.
When transporting a child, always use a child re-
straint system or the vehicle seat belts as appropri-
ate. To determine whether a child restraint system is
required, review and comply with applicable state
and local laws. Any child restraint used must comply
with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213,
"Child Restraint Systems." When providing a child
restraint system, always carefully read and follow all
instructions pertaining to installation and usage for
the child. Make certain the child remains in the re-
straint system at all times when the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
In addition to seat belt assemblies, tether belts are
installed on suspension-type seats. Tether belts help
secure the seat to the floor and are intended to re-
strain the seat and seat belt in case of an accident or
sudden stop.
