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

Using the Seatbelt with CinchTongue (Front Center and RearCenter Seats Only)
The cinch tongue slides up and down thebelt webbing when the belt is stowed orwhile putting seatbelts on. When the lapand shoulder seatbelt is buckled, the cinchtongue allows the lap portion to beshortened, 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.
1.To lengthen the lap belt, pull somewebbing out of the shoulder beltretractor.
2.While holding the webbing below thetongue, grasp the tip (metal portion)of the tongue so that it is parallel to thewebbing and slide the tongue upward.
3.Provide enough lap belt length so thatthe tongue can reach the buckle.
