Safety Information

The CG-Lock has been crash tested and proven not to interfere with the safety of the seat belt both with and without pre-tensioners. THE CG-LOCK IS NOT A SAFETY DEVICE. Do not use the CG-Lock without first reading and understanding the safety information. Do not use the CG-Lock if you do not understand any part of the Safety Information or any part of the “Installation” or “Usage” instructions.

General safety information

Always wear a seat belt! (see www.thinkseatbelts.com).

The CG-Lock is intended expressly for those uses specifically stated; do not use for any other purpose.

The CG-Lock is not a replacement or substitute for the proper use of appropriate seat belts and/ or other safety equipment.

The CG-Lock does not fit all vehicles. If the CG-Lock does not fit your vehicle, return the CG-Lock. We will send you a full refund.

Adjustments to the CG-Lock should be performed with the vehicle safely parked.

DO NOT DRIVE with the CG-Lock in the “on” (”enable”) position without first removing the slack (looseness or excess webbing) from the lap belt by pulling up on the shoulder section of the seat belt until the lap belt is snug.

If you do not want any tightness on the lap belt portion of the seat belt, remove the CG-Lock slide.

The CG-Lock is designed ONLY for use with specific factory-installed (OEM) standard three-point seat belts.

The user is responsible for installing, inspecting and maintaining the CG-Lock correctly and according to the supplied directions.

Make all seat adjustments before driving and after fitting the CG-Lock.

Remove the slide bar after each use and store safely. Doing so will prevent use of the CG-Lock by someone unfamiliar with its operation. It is your responsibility to prevent an untrained person using an activated (enabled) CG-Lock in your vehicle.

Prior to each use, check the security of the CG-Lock installation and examine the seat belt for signs of wear or other concerns. In the event that loose fit, or wear, is seen or suspected, remove the CG-Lock until the seat belt and/ or CG-Lock is replaced.

All driving is inherently dangerous and is performed under a wide range of conditions and driver skills, all of which are uncontrollable by Lap Belt Cinch (Europe) Ltd and Lap Belt Cinch (Europe) Ltd accepts no responsibility for the consequences of vehicle use or driver actions whether or not the CG-Lock is used.

The CG-Lock purchaser assumes responsibility and liability for any and all uses and all users, including all restrictions, conditions, and disclaimers provided with the product.

In the event a CG-Lock is in use in a vehicle at the time of an accident or impact, discontinue use of the CG-Lock at once and remove it at the first opportunity. The CG-Lock should be replaced.

In no case is the manufacturer or seller liable for incidental or coincidental damages.

Performance driving uses

The CG-Lock is NOT A SAFETY DEVICE; it does not increase safety and does not reduce the risk of accident or harm.

Performance applications of CG-Lock are not intended for highway use. Suggested uses include closed-course, sanctioned driver training under the direction and control of appropriate instructors, such as ‘track days’ during an officially sanctioned event. The CG-Lock is intended for use by trained or experienced drivers (for example, graduates of performance driving schools or advanced driver training schools).

A CG-Lock does not change the laws of physics. The effects of vehicle speed, conditions of the vehicle and track, braking distance, lateral g loading and traction, acceptable angles of climb and descent, and/ or other such driving attributes are unchanged by the presence of a CG-Lock, and appropriate cautions must be taken irrespective of the use of a CG-Lock.

Child car safety and booster seat uses

The CG-Lock has not been fully crash tested for child/ infant car safety seat and booster seat applications, however, early tests indicate an easier, tighter fit compared to a seat belt with no CG-Lock fitted.

Therapeutic uses

A physician should be consulted before using the CG-Lock as a treatment or prophylactic for any type of medical condition, including but not limited to back pain, muscle spasm and fatigue. The CG-Lock is specifically contraindicated for people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction, artificial hips, scoliosis, and any other medical or physical condition incompatible with the CG-Lock unless authorised by a physician. Anecdotal reports indicate that the CG-Lock can reduce or eliminate lower back pain during driving when lightly tightened by maintaining proper posture.

Long journeys

Care should be taken at all times to avoid driving when tired. Plan your journey to prevent tiredness. See more at www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk.
