Seat belt warning

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

Driver’s seat belt warning

As a reminder to the driver, the seat belt warning light displays for approximately 6 seconds each time you turn the ENGINE START/STOP button ON, regardless of whether the belt is fastened. If you do not fasten the seat belt, the warning chime sounds for about 6 seconds.

If you start to drive between approximately 5 mph (9 km/h) and 12 mph (20 km/h) without the seat belt fastened, the corresponding warning light appears. The warning light turns off when the vehicle speed drops below approximately 5 mph (9 km/h).

If you drive at approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) or faster without the seat belt fastened, or unfasten it while driving at these speeds, the warning light blinks continuously and the warning chime sounds for about 100 seconds. If the seat belt is unfastened at speeds between 5 mph (9 km/h) and 12 mph (20 km/h), the warning light appears but does not blink or sound the chime until you exceed 12 mph (20 km/h).

Front passenger’s seat belt warning

As a reminder to the front passenger, the seat belt warning light appears for approximately 6 seconds each time you turn the ENGINE START/STOP button ON, regardless of whether the belt is fastened. If you start to drive between approximately 5 mph (9 km/h) and 12 mph (20 km/h) without the front passenger seat belt fastened, the corresponding warning light appears. The warning light turns off when the vehicle speed drops below approximately 5 mph (9 km/h).

If you drive at approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) or faster without the seat belt fastened, or unfasten it while driving at these speeds, the warning light blinks continuously and the warning chime sounds for about 100 seconds. If the seat belt is unfastened at speeds between 5 mph (9 km/h) and 12 mph (20 km/h), the warning light appears but does not blink or sound the chime until you exceed 12 mph (20 km/h).
