How to Adjust the Height of the Outlander Seat Belt?
2 Answers
The Outlander seat belt adjuster is located on the decorative panel of the center pillar, which is where the upper part of the seat belt retracts. Pinch the button with both hands and pull it outward, the button cover will come off. Drag the button up and down to adjust the position of the webbing, stop pulling the button when the position is suitable. At the same time, fine-tune the height up and down. When you hear a "click" sound, it means the height has been adjusted to the correct position and is locked in the current position.
I've been driving the Outlander for almost two years now, often taking my kids out, so it's important to adjust the seatbelt height properly. The Outlander's seatbelt adjustment is on the B-pillar, which is the side near the door. There's a button you press to slide it up or down to the right height. It's best to do this while parked and seated in the driver's seat, and have someone help you tighten it to check if the position is correct. If the seatbelt height is wrong, it can either choke your neck or be too loose, offering poor protection in an accident. Different drivers of varying heights need to adjust it separately—for example, my husband is 1.8 meters tall, while I'm 1.6 meters, so our settings differ. I recommend checking if it's securely locked every time before driving—don't skip this step, as safety comes first. The design is quite user-friendly, much more convenient than some older car models, and the Outlander's seats are comfortable too. You'll get used to it after trying a few times.
