There is no tension involved, no tension to adjust. The cleats release passively by position only, with no pressure required.

When I demonstrate them to folks who are nervous about being clipped in, I click in my empty shoe then tap the heel outward with one finger. The shoe rotates and falls off the pedal.

It's a pretty cool demonstration and allays a lot of fears.
