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 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.
- Pull on the tongue to make sure it is securely fastened to the buckle.
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 to help reduce your forward movement.
