132combination seat belt is latched into the buckle, the
cinch tongue will allow the lap portion to become
shorter, but locks the webbing in place to restrict it
from becoming longer.
Before you can reach and latch a combination lap
and shoulder belt having a cinch tongue into the
buckle, you may have to lengthen the lap belt
portion of it. To lengthen the lap belt, pull some
webbing out of the shoulder belt retractor. While
holding the webbing below the tongue, grasp the
tip (metal portion) of the tongue so that it is
parallel to the webbing and slide the tongue
upward. Provide enough lap belt length so that the
tongue can reach the buckle.
NOTE:If you grasp the tongue by the tongue
cover to lengthen the belt, the tongue cover will
grab the webbing, making it difficult to slide.
