How to Adjust the Tightness of Seat Belts?

First, locate the seat belt adjustment button on the left side of the vehicle. Then, press the button downward with your fingers to adjust the height of the seat belt. Moving it downward will lower the position of the seat belt, while pushing it upward will raise the position of the seat belt. The most crucial part is to adjust the comparison between the highest and lowest points of the seat belt adjustment fixed buckle.

I've been driving for over a decade, and adjusting seatbelt tension is quite straightforward. After getting in the car, first pull out the belt and insert it into the buckle. If it feels too tight on your shoulder, locate the adjustment button on the B-pillar, press it and push up or down until the belt rests comfortably below your collarbone. It shouldn't be too loose either - the ideal tightness allows about one finger's width of slack. Once when my wife was driving, the seatbelt kept rubbing against her neck because she hadn't adjusted the height; lowering it to the lowest setting solved the problem. When wearing a winter coat in the car, remember to tighten the belt extra, otherwise during sudden braking you might lunge forward, which is extremely dangerous. The seat recline angle also affects seatbelt positioning, so it's safest to readjust the belt tension whenever you change your seat position.
