Magazine box
There is a box at the rear of the pocket for small
items such as sketch boards, magazines and work
gloves.
To prevent items in the pocket from falling out
when opening and closing the engine hood or
driving on bad road surfaces, secure firmly with
the belt.
Seat belt
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retrac-
tor and insert the tab into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the
buckle. Pull on the belt to make sure the buckle
is securely latched.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your
size.
Disconnecting method
Push the release button and allow the belt to re-
tract.
Warning
Buckle up. Your seat and seat belt can reduce
the risk of serious injury or death in case of a
truck tipover. You chances for avoiding seri-
ous injury or death in a tipover are better if
you stay with the truck in the operator's com-
partment.
Warning
Always wear your seat belt when driving the
truck. Trucks can be tipped over if operated
improperly. To protect operators from the
risk of serious injury or death in the event of
a tipover, it is best to be held securely in the
seat. The seat and seat belt will help to keep
you safely within the truck and operator's
compartment, in the event of a tipover, don't
jump, grip the steering wheel, brace your feet,
lean away from the direction of tipover, and
stay with the truck.
Please always buckle up your seat belt when
driving your truck.
