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.
If the driver's seatbelt and/or the front
passenger's seatbelt is still not fastened
when the 108-second period has elapsed,
the warning light(s) will stop flashing and
the buzzer will stop sounding. The warn-
ing light(s), however, will remain illumi-
nated continuously unless the corre-
sponding seatbelt(s) is fastened.
