using a split-type hook. Make sure

To lengthen the tether, turn the
buckle to a right angle to the
webbing. Then pull the buckle.

Komfort-Latch® Feature
Your vehicle includes a feature
designed to eliminate cinching and
provide improved safety and comfort.
Cinching is the condition where a belt
becomes continually tighter around
you during a rough, bouncy ride. The
need for this feature increases with
rough road conditions, particularly over
long distances.
To eliminate cinching, simply activate
the Komfort-Latch feature located
on the seat belt webbing at the
appropriate time.
1. Adjust the seat to its proper driving
position.
2. Latch the seat belt.
3. If available, adjust the seat belt
height adjuster to a comfortable
driving position.
