If you install a child safety seat or infant carrier
in a rear outboard seating position having a
combination lap and shoulder belt with “cinch
tongue,” use the following procedure:
1.
Grasp the belt webbing below the tongue
and pull as much of the belt out of the
retractor as possible. Hold the belt out. See
Figure 1.
NOTE:
The belt webbing below the tongue is
the lap belt portion of the combination
lap/shoulder belt, and the belt webbing
above the tongue is the shoulder belt
portion of the combination
lap/shoulder belt.

2.
With your other hand, grasp the tip (metal
portion) of the tongue (not the cover) and
slide the tongue up the webbing as far as it
will go. See Figure 1. Release the tongue, but
do not let go of the lap portion of the belt
webbing.
3.
While still holding the belt webbing below
the tongue in one hand, use your other hand
to grasp the tip (metal portion) of the tongue
and belt webbing together, and again pull
out as much of the belt as possible. Then, let
go of the lap portion of the belt webbing.
4.
While holding the shoulder and lap belt
portions together, route the tongue and
webbing through the child seat according to
the child seat manufacturer’s instructions.
See Figure 2. Be sure that the belt webbing
is not twisted.
52
5.
Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle
for that seating position until you hear a
snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue
is securely latched to the buckle by pulling
on the tongue. See Figure 3.

6.
Push down on the child seat and pull up on
the shoulder belt portion to tighten the lap
belt portion of the combination lap and
shoulder belt. See Figure 4.
