SAFETY INFORMATION FOR CG-LOCK

CG-LOCK IS NOT A SAFETY DEVICE. Do not use the CG-Lock without first reading and understanding the safety information provided with the product. Do not use the CG-Lock if you do not understand any part of the full Safety Instructions or any part of the "Installation" or "How to Use" Instructions.

General Safety

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 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 with a completed Return Form (see the "Return Policy"). You will receive a full refund for the CG-Lock and shipping.

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

The CG-Lock is equipped with an "on/off" function (an "enable/disable" feature). Switching between these settings should only be done with the vehicle safely parked (stationary).

DO NOT DRIVE with the CG-Lock slide in the "on" ("engaged") position without first removing the slack (looseness or excess webbing) from the lap belt by pulling up on the shoulder harness until the lap belt is snug.

Driving with any slack (looseness) in the seat belt system can be hazardous. If the lap belt portion of the seat belt is loosened using the release lever or becomes loose, any slack in the lap belt must be removed by pulling up on the shoulder harness before driving.

If you do not want any tightness on the lap belt portion of the seat belt, remove the CG-Lock slide (disable the CG-Lock) as explained in the "How To Use" instructions.

Do not drive with a loose lap belt unless the CG-Lock slide has been removed.

The CG-Lock is designed ONLY for use with specific factory-installed (OEM) standard three-point lap/shoulder harnesses. The "Installation Instructions" provided in this brochure contain full details.

Appropriate use of the CG-Lock is at the discretion of the user; do not use if there is the slightest question of appropriateness of application, fit, or safety. If you have questions or concerns, return the CG-Lock for a refund of the purchase price as described in the Money Back Guarantee.

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

Make all seat adjustments before tightening the lap belt with the CG-Lock. For example, do not tighten the CG-Lock and then move your seat forward or backward. Move the seat first, then tighten the lap belt.

The CG-Lock is equipped with an "on/off" function (an "enable/disable" feature). Remove the slide 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 a loose fit or wear is seen or suspected, remove the CG-Lock until the seat belt or CG-Lock is replaced.

In some vehicles, the CG-Lock may mar, abrade, or scratch the trim on the B-pillar. If you see the beginnings of any form of unacceptable effect, either discontinue use of the CG-Lock (return under the money back guarantee) or pad or protect the trim area using readily available padding materials, cloth tape, or other suitable method.

All driving is inherently dangerous and is performed under a wide range of conditions and/or driver skills, all of which are uncontrollable by Mather Automotive Innovations, Inc. Mather Automotive Innovations, Inc. 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 device.

In the event a CG-Lock is in use in a vehicle at the time of an accident or other impact, discontinue use of the CG-Lock at once and remove it at first opportunity. The CG-Lock should be returned to Mather Automotive Innovations, Inc. for a free replacement. Only a shipping and handling fee will be charged.

In any case, Mather Automotive Innovations, Inc. shall not be liable for more than the replacement cost of the CG-Lock. Manufacturer's and seller's liability is limited solely to replacement or refund, and 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 decrease risk of accident or harm. Performance applications of the CG-Lock are not intended for street use. Suggested uses include closed-course, sanctioned driver training under the direction and control of appropriate instructors, such as autocrossing during an SCCA or other officially sanctioned event. The CG-Lock is intended for use by trained or highly experienced drivers only (for example, graduates of performance driving schools or advanced driver training, trucker's school, and the like).

A CG-Lock does not change the laws of physics. The effects of 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 tested for child/infant car safety seat and booster seat applications. At this time, the CG-Lock is not recommended for infant child seat or booster seat applications.

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, fatigue, and the like. The CG-Lock is specifically contraindicated for people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction, artificial hips, and any other medical or physical condition incompatible with the CG-Lock unless authorized by a physician.


Comfort (long haul driving) Uses

The increased comfort afforded by the CG-Lock may increase a tendency towards sleepiness, over-relaxation, inattention, or other conditions not conducive to the safe operation of a motor vehicle. Care should be taken at all times to prevent these and other potentially hazardous conditions from occurring.

Limitation or Warranty

Mather Automotive Innovations, Inc. hereby excludes all Warranties of Merchantability and Fitness, and shall not be liable under such Warranties. Mather Automotive, Inc. is not responsible for misstatements or failure to inform by other parties selling or distributing the CG-Lock. Official information can be found at www.CG-Lock.com.
