The cinch tongue slides up and down theseatbelt webbing when you stow theseatbelt or when you put the seatbelts on.When you buckle the seatbelt, the cinchtongue allows you to shorten the lapportion, but pinches the webbing to keepthe lap portion from getting longer. Thecinch tongue is designed to slip during acrash, so wear the shoulder belt properlyand do not allow any slack in either the lapor shoulder portions.
While you are fastened in the seatbelt, theseatbelt with a cinch tongue adjusts toyour movement. However, if you brakehard, turn hard, or if your vehicle receivesan impact of 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, theseatbelt locks and helps reduce yourforward movement.

If the retractor does not unlock, pull theseatbelt out slowly then feed a smalllength of webbing back toward the stowedposition.
