To connect the extender to the seatbelt, insert the tongue plate into the seatbelt buckle so that the“ PRESS” marks on the buckle-release buttons of the extender and the seatbelt are both facing the same direction, as shown in the illustration. You will hear a click when the tongue plate locks into the buckle.
When releasing the seatbelt, press on the buckle-release button on the extender, not on the seatbelt. This helps to prevent damage to the vehicle interior and extender itself.
