The light and buzzer act as a reminder to
buckle up the driver's seatbelt.
Once the ignition switch is set to ON or
START, the reminder light flashes if the
driver's seatbelt is not fastened. Unless the
driver fastens the belt, the light continues
flashing.
If the vehicle speed rises above 20 km/h with
the seatbelt unfastened, the buzzer will
sound for 30 seconds. Then, if the seatbelt
is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in
a different tone for 90 more seconds. Even
if the vehicle speed drops below 20 km/h, the
buzzer will continue to sound. To stop the
buzzer, fasten the seatbelt.
