It cinches the seatbelt tight so you won't slide aorund. Cinch yourself in (you will hear it click a few times) adjust your side bolsters to hug you then move you seat up a tad and you're PLANTED into that seat!
give it a try
give it a try

To make it work better, push the cinch button with one hand and push the belt into it with the other...it'll tighten 
I use it all the time at the AutoX

Punch the cinch button and then tbe seat belt will effectively only retract until it goes fully retracted. Press the button and then pull the belt tight and it stays that way. I do it instinctively in the vette now, I find myself missing it in other cars.

In mine, the cinch only locks the belt in the position that its in when you press the button. It doesn't make it any tighter.
Is this the way its supposed to work??

I'm surprised when you pressed it you didn't noticed you were suddenly locked in! You have to unbuckle the belt to release cinch.

They show in one of the owner's videos (Either 93, 91, or 87 as those are the years we had new) that it is intended to be used by:
Getting in the car, buckling up, then sliding the seat slightly forward to really strap you in.
Upon exit slightly slide the seat back, unbuckle and get out.

While I rarely used the cinch button.
I found that you can activate the cinch feature with some very aggressive driving without using the button. On my '85 Z51 I activated it almost every time I drove it. Anyone else do this?
