unfastened (only when the driver or
passenger's seat is occupied) and if the
vehicle is driven at about 20 km/h (12
mph) or faster, or about 10 km/h (6

seconds, with the seat belt unfastened,
the warning light flashes for a certain
period.
After a short time, the warning light
stops flashing, but remains illuminated.
In addition, when the warning light
flashes, a warning sound is activated.
Wear the seat belt.
NOTE
Placing heavy items on the driver or

passenger's seat may cause the

not sit on the driver or passenger's
