Tesla CYBERTRUCK Owner's Manual page 43

The seat belts in all rear seating positions are equipped
with shoulder pre-tensioners to retract the seat belt
webbing to reduce forward movement of the occupant.
If the pre-tensioners and airbags did not activate in an
impact, this does not mean they malfunctioned. It
usually means that the strength or type of force needed
to activate them was not present.
WARNING: Do not bend, sit on, or interfere with
the pre-tensioner assembly. Doing so can cause
damage that interferes with the proper
functionality of the seat belt system.
WARNING: Once the seat belt pre-tensioners have
been activated, they must be replaced. After any
collision, have the airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners
and any associated components checked and, if
necessary, replaced.
Testing Seat Belts
To confirm that seat belts are operating correctly,
perform these simple checks on each seat belt:
1. With the seat belt fastened, give the webbing nearest
the buckle a quick and forceful pull. The buckle
should remain securely locked.
2. With the seat belt fastened, give the webbing closest
to the door a quick and forceful pull. The permanent
seat belt attachment should remain securely locked.
Never attempt to remove this attachment.
3. With the belt unfastened, unreel the webbing to its
limit. Check that unreeling is free from snags, and
visually check the webbing for wear. Allow the
webbing to retract, checking that retraction is
smooth and complete.
4. With the webbing half unreeled, hold the tongue
plate and pull forward quickly. The mechanism should
lock automatically and prevent further unreeling.
If a seat belt fails any of these tests, have the vehicle
serviced before driving with the seat occupied.
For information about cleaning seat belts, see
on page 182.
Seat Belt Warnings
WARNING: Seat belts should be worn by all
occupants at all times, even if driving for a very
short distance. Failure to do so increases the risk
of injury or death if a collision occurs.
WARNING: Secure small children in a suitable child
safety seat as described in the Owner's Manual.
Always follow the child safety seat manufacturer's
instructions when installing.
WARNING: Ensure that all seat belts are worn
correctly. An improperly worn seat belt increases
the risk of injury or death if a collision occurs.
Seating and Safety Restraints
WARNING: Never sit on top of any seat belt
component. Doing so can cause damage or
interfere with the proper deployment of safety
equipment.
WARNING: Do not wear seat belts over hard,
fragile or sharp items in clothing, such as pens,
keys, eyeglasses, etc. The pressure from the seat
belt on such items can cause injury.
WARNING: Seat belts should not be worn with any
part of the strap twisted.
WARNING: Each seat belt assembly must be used
by one occupant only. It is dangerous to put a seat
belt around a child being carried on an occupant's
lap.
WARNING: Seat belts that have been worn in a
collision must be inspected or replaced, if
necessary, even if damage to the assembly is not
obvious.
WARNING: Seat belts that show signs of wear
(such as fraying), or have been cut or damaged in
any way, must be replaced.
WARNING: Avoid contaminating a seat belt's
components with any chemicals, liquids, grit, dirt
or cleaning products. If a seat belt fails to retract
or latch into the buckle, it must be replaced
immediately.
WARNING: Do not make modifications or
additions that can prevent a seat belt mechanism
from taking up slack, or that can prevent a seat
belt from being adjusted to remove slack. A seat
belt with slack greatly reduces occupant
protection.
WARNING: Do not make modifications that can
interfere with the operation of a seat belt, or that
can cause a seat belt to become inoperable.
WARNING: Do not use third party comfort and
convenience products that attach to the seat belts.
WARNING: When seat belts are not in use, they
should be fully retracted and not hanging loose. If
a seat belt does not fully retract, schedule a
service appointment.
Seat Belts
WARNING: The seat belt system has no user
serviceable parts and may contain pyrotechnics.
Do not disassemble, remove, or replace
components.
