belt reminder light near the passenger
airbag status indicator.
When the vehicle is started, this light
flashes and a chime may sound to remind
passengers to fasten their seat belts.
Then the light stays on solid until the belt is
buckled. This cycle continues several times if
the front passenger remains or becomes
unbuckled while the vehicle is moving.
If the front passenger seat belt is fastened,
neither the chime nor the light is activated.
The front passenger seat belt reminder light
and chime may be activated if an object is
left on the seat such as a briefcase,
handbag, shopping bag, and laptop, or other
electronic device. To turn off the reminder
light and/or chime, remove the object from
the seat or fasten the seat belt.
