Cinch button
What does the cinch button do?It is the button on the retractor housing of the seat belt.I can't believe I have owned this car for over 2 years and never noticed this before.

Press the button, hold your breath, pull the lap belt tight. If you can still breath the button is broken!
Honestly I always cinch mine down. I get so used to it that it doesn't feel right in a vehicle that doesn't have that feature.

It makes the seat belt "lock". That way it wont let you lean forward.
I had mine for over a year and did not know it was there until I pulled the seats out

My question now has to be: Does the 'cinch' button lock the shoulder belt too??

If you are doing any spirited driving then suck in your gut, push the button and push the belt in. Then inflate the sport seat bolsters/lumbar and bump the seat forward a bit. OMG, shouldn't be eating those donuts anymore!
