FASTENING THE SAFETY
BELTS
The front outboard and rear safetyrestraints in the vehicle are combinationlap and shoulder belts.

2. To unfasten, press the release buttonand remove the tongue from thebuckle.
Using the Safety Belt with CinchTongue (Front Center and RearCenter Seats Only)
The cinch tongue will slide up and downthe belt webbing when the belt is stowedor while putting safety belts on. When thelap and shoulder safety belt is buckled, thecinch tongue will allow the lap portion tobe shortened, but pinches the webbing tokeep the lap portion from getting longer.The cinch tongue is designed to slip duringa crash, so always wear the shoulder beltproperly and do not allow any slack ineither the lap or shoulder portions.
Before you can reach and latch a lap andshoulder belt having a cinch tongue intothe buckle, you may have to lengthen thelap belt portion of it.
