meter.
If the vehicle is driven at a speed no
higher than approximately 20 km/h (12.5
mph) with the driver s seatbelt not fas-
tened, the warning light will illuminate
continuously.
If the vehicle subsequently reaches a
speed of approximately 20 km/h (12.5
mph) with the driver s seatbelt not fas-
tened, the warning light will start a
repeated cycle consisting of 5 seconds
of flashing followed by 1 second of steady
illumination. At the same time, a buzzer
will start a repeated cycle consisting of
sounding for 5 seconds followed by a 1-
second pause. If the seatbelt is fastened
at this time, the warning light will turn off
and the buzzer will stop sounding imme-
diately.
This condition will continue for approxi-
mately 108 seconds. If the driver s seat-
belt is still not fastened when the 108-
second period has elapsed, the warning
light will stop flashing and the buzzer will
stop sounding. The warning light, how-
ever, will remain illuminated continuously
unless the seatbelt is fastened.
! Seatbelt warning for front passen-
ger's seat (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt
warning device for the front passenger s
seat.
Front passenger's warning light
With the ignition switch turned to the ON
position, this device reminds the front
passenger to fasten his/her seatbelt by
illuminating a warning light as shown in
the illustration.
If the vehicle is driven at a speed no
higher than approximately 20 km/h (12.5
mph) with the front passenger s seatbelt
not fastened, the warning light(s) corre-
sponding to the unfastened seatbelt(s) will
illuminate continuously.
If the vehicle subsequently reaches a
speed of approximately 20 km/h (12.5
mph) with the front passenger s seatbelt
not fastened, the warning light(s) will start
a repeated cycle consisting of 5 seconds
of flashing followed by 1 second of steady
illumination.
At the same time, a buzzer will start a
repeated cycle consisting of sounding for
5 seconds followed by a 1-second pause.
If either the driver s or front passenger s
unfastened seatbelts is fastened at this
time, the warning light corresponding to
that seatbelt will immediately turn off but
the buzzer will continue operating unless
the remaining seatbelt is fastened.
NOTE
. If the driver's and front passenger's
seatbelts are not fastened simulta-
neously (if one seatbelt is fastened
significantly earlier or later than the
other), the buzzer may sound longer
(10 seconds maximum).
. The occupant detection system of
the front passenger's seat detects if the
seat is occupied by a passenger. How-
ever, if there is an object on the seat,
the seatbelt warning system may be
activated even the seat is not occupied.
. If you use a cushion on the front
passenger's seat, there is the possibi-
lity that the occupant detection system
cannot detect the passenger.
