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 .
