Toyota Tacoma 1996 Instruction Manual page 26

—Front outside seat belts and
rear seat belts
Adjust the seat as needed (front seats
only) and sit up straight and well back
in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it
out of the retractor and insert the tab
into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts
to your size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It also may lock
if you lean forward too quickly. A slow,
easy motion will allow the belt to extend,
and you can move around freely.

If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the
retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it.
You will then be able to smoothly pull the
belt out of the retractor.
When a passenger's shoulder belt is com-
pletely extended and is then retracted
even slightly, the belt is locked in that posi-
tion and cannot be extended. This feature
is used to hold the child restraint system
securely. (For details, see "Child restraint"
in this chapter.) To free the belt again, fully
retract the belt and then pull the belt out
once more.
CAUTION
!
S After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the belt is not twisted.
S Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
S If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately
your Toyota dealer.
