Insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear a distinct click. You have not fastened the seat belt properly if you do not hear a click.


Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.

Press the red button on the buckle to release the belt. Let it retract completely and smoothly.
