Fastening and Unfastening the Seatbelts

This applies to all seating positions, except for the front center position of Super Cab and Crew Cab.

Insert the seatbelt tongue into the buckle until you hear a snap and feel it latch.

Press the button to release the seatbelt.

Using the Seatbelt With Cinch Tongue

This applies to the front center seating position of Super Cab and Crew Cab.

The cinch tongue slides up and down the seatbelt webbing when you stow the seatbelt or when you put the seatbelts on. When you buckle the seatbelt, the cinch tongue allows you to shorten the lap portion, but pinches the webbing to keep the lap portion from getting longer. The cinch tongue is designed to slip during a crash, so wear the shoulder belt properly and do not allow any slack in either the lap or shoulder portions.

Fastening the Cinch Tongue

WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

Pull the seatbelt from the retractor so that the shoulder belt portion of the seatbelt crosses your shoulder and chest.

Make sure the belt is not twisted. If the belt is twisted, remove the twist.

Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for your seating position until you hear a snap and feel it latch.

Make sure you securely fasten the tongue to the buckle by pulling on the tongue.

While you are fastened in the seatbelt, the seatbelt with a cinch tongue adjusts to your movement. However, if you brake hard, turn hard, or if your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the seatbelt locks and helps reduce your forward movement.
