Seat belt reminder
Front seat
If the vehicle is driven with the driver or front passenger's seat belt unfastened, the seat belt warning light illuminates and a warning beep sounds.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger seat is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning light will flash and a beep sound will be heard. After a short time, the warning light stops flashing, but remains illuminated, and the beep sound stops. If a seat belt remains unfastened, the warning light flashes and the beep sound activates again for a given period of time.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given period of time has elapsed, the beep sound will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).
-
If a driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened after the beep sound turns off (warning light remains illuminated), and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning light flashes and beep sound activates again.
-
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 light will not operate.
Rear seat
If the rear seat belts are not fastened while the ignition is switched ON, the driver and the passenger will be informed by the warning lights.
The warning lights illuminate in two colours. When the seat belt is not fastened, the warning light illumination is red. When the seat belt is fastened, the illumination is green. The warning lights operate even when there is no passenger on the rear seat. The warning beep only sounds if a seat belt is unfastened after being fastened.
If the rear seat belts are not fastened in a specified period of time after the engine has been started, all the warning lights turn off.
