SEAT BELTS AND THEIR PROPER USE PART 5: SEAT AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
– 82 – Y53-6032 (R05/10)
Some Other Safety Restraint Tips:
• Don’t wear belts over rigid or breakable objects in or
on your clothing. Such things might be eyeglasses,
pens, keys, etc. These could cause injury in an acci-
dent.
• Damaged belts in the cab or sleeper must be
replaced. Belts that have been stretched, cut, or worn
out may not protect you in an accident.
• Avoid catching belts in the doors or seat hardware.
They could be damaged.
• Don’t modify or disassemble the seat belts in your
vehicle. They won’t be available to keep you and your
passengers safe.
• Never bleach or dye seat belts; chemicals can
weaken them. Do, however, keep them clean by fol-
lowing the care label on the belts. Let them dry com-
pletely before allowing them to retract.
• If any seat belt is not working properly, see an autho-
rized Peterbilt dealer for repair or replacement.
Tether Belts
Tether belts are installed on suspension seats. They help
secure the seat to the floor to restrain it in case of a sud-
den stop or an accident.
WARNING! Do not remove, modify, or replace
the tether belt system with a different tether
system. A failed or missing tether belt could
allow the seat base to fully extend in the event
of an accident leading to greater injuries or
death.
