Warning Sound is Activated

Lights-On Reminder

If the ignition is switched OFF with the exterior lights turned on and the driver’s door is opened, a sound is activated.

  • When the ignition is switched to ACC, the “Ignition Not Switched OFF (STOP) Warning Beep” (Search) overrides the lights-on reminder.

  • A personalised function is available to change the sound volume for the lights-on reminder.

Seat Belt Warning Beep

Front seat

If the vehicle speed exceeds about 20 km/h (12 mph) with the driver or front passenger's seat belt unfastened, a warning beep sounds continuously. If the seat belt remains unfastened, the beep sound stops once and then continues for about 90 seconds. The beep stops after the driver or front passenger's seat belt is fastened.

 


  • Placing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.

  • To allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.

  • When a small child sits on the front passenger seat, it is possible that the warning beep will not operate.

Rear seat

The warning beep only sounds if a seat belt is unfastened after being fastened.
