1. To lengthen
the lap belt,
pull some
webbing out of
the shoulder
belt retractor.
2. While holding
the webbing
below the
tongue, grasp
the tip (metal portion) of the tongue so that it is
parallel to the webbing and slide the tongue upward.
3. Provide enough lap belt length so that the tongue
can reach the buckle.
How to fasten the cinch tongue
1. Pull the combination lap and shoulder belt from
the retractor so that the shoulder belt portion of the
safety belt crosses your shoulder and chest.
2. Be sure the belt is not twisted. If the belt is
twisted, remove the twist.
3. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for
your seating position until you hear a snap and feel
it latch.
4. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened to the
buckle by pulling on the tongue.
The lap belt should fit snugly and as low as
possible around the hips, not across the
waist.
Front and rear seat occupants, including
pregnant women, should wear safety belts
for optimum protection in an accident.
