Seat Belt Reminder

If the vehicle is driven with the driver or
front passenger's seat belt unfastened, the
seat belt warning light illuminates and a
warning chime sounds.
NOTE
Some models do not have the seat belt
reminder function for the front passenger's
seat.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt
is unfastened (only when the front
passenger seat is occupied) and the
vehicle is driven at a speed faster than
about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning
light will flash and a beep sound will be
heard. After a short time, the warning
light stops flashing, but remains
illuminated, and the beep sound stops.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep sound
will not stop even if the vehicle speed
falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).
Form No.8DW4-EC-14H
NOTE
The warning light flashes and a beep sound
l
will be heard for about 6 seconds if the
driver's seat belt is not fastened when the
ignition is switched ON.
If a driver or front passenger's seat belt is
l
unfastened after the beep sound turns off
(warning light remains illuminated), and
the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12
mph), the warning light flashes and beep
sound activates again.
Placing items on the front passenger seat
l
may cause the front passenger seat belt
warning function to operate depending on
the weight of the item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight
l
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on the
front passenger seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
When a small child sits on the front
l
passenger seat, it is possible that the
warning light will not operate.
