Seat belt warning

The seat belt warning light and warning chime operate under the following conditions:

Front seat belt warning light

As a reminder to the front passenger, the seat belt warning light appears for approximately 6 seconds each time you start the vehicle to ON position, regardless of whether the belt is fastened. The seat belt warning light illuminates until the seatbelt is fastened. If you start to drive between approximately 9 km/h (5 mph) and 20 km/h (12 mph) without the front passenger seat belt fastened, the corresponding warning light appears.

If you drive at approximately 20 km/h (12 mph) or faster without the seat belt fastened, or unfasten it whilst driving at these speeds, the front seat belt warning light blinks continuously and the warning chime sounds for a certain period of time. If the seat belt is unfastened at speeds between 9 km/h (5 mph) and 20 km/h (12 mph), the front seat belt warning light appears but does not blink or sound the chime until you exceed 20 km/h (12 mph).

TIP
  • Even if the front passenger seat is not occupied, the seat belt warning light will appear for approximately 6 seconds.
