Instruments and controls
when the ignition switch is turned to "ON"
to remind the driver to wear the seatbelt.
If the vehicle is driven at a speed no
higher than approximately 20 km/h (13
mph) with the driver's seatbelt not fas-
tened, the warning light will come on and
stays on continuously.
If the vehicle subsequently reaches a
speed of approximately 20 km/h (13
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 a 1-second pause.
If the seatbelt is fastened at this time, the
warning light will immediately go off. This
condition will continue for approximately
108 seconds.
If the driver's seatbelt is still not fastened
when the 108-second period has elapsed,
the warning light will stop flashing. The
warning light, however, will stay on con-
tinuously unless the seatbelt is fastened.
! Middle East models
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt
warning device at the driver's seat, as
required by current safety standards.
This device causes the seatbelt warning
light on the instrument panel to light up for
approximately 6 seconds when the igni-
tion switch is turned to "ON" to remind the
driver to wear the seatbelt. If the driver's
seatbelt is not fastened, a warning chime
sounds at the same time.
