Cinching is the condition where a belt becomes continually tighter around you during a rough, bouncy ride. The need for this feature increases with rough road conditions, particularly over long distances. Do not remove, modify, or replace the tether belt system with a different teth- er system.
A failed or missing 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. WARNING WARNING Failure to adjust external tether belts properly can cause excessive move- ment of the seat in an accident. Tether belts should be adjusted so that they are taut when the seat is in its most upward and forward position. Failure to comply may result in death or per- sonal injury. Do not set the KomfortLatch ® with too much slack. Too much slack may re- duce the effectiveness of the seat belt. Failure to comply may result in death or personal injury.
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. To eliminate cinching, simply activate the Komfort-Latch ® device located on the seat belt webbing at the appropriate time: 1. Adjust the seat to its proper driving position. 2. Latch the seat belt. 3. If available, adjust the seat belt height adjuster to a comfortable driving position. Adjust an external tether by either lengthening or shortening the strap. To lengthen it: 1. Turn the buckle to a right angle to the webbing.
Make sure that the tether belt is attached to the cab floor and seat frame. It should be routed through the buckle on each side. Often the attachments are made using a Y53-6047-2HEN (03/18) 31
