Seat Belt System Components

Your seat belt system includes lap/
shoulder belts in all seating positions.
The front seat belts are also
equipped with automatic seat belt
tensioners.
The seat belt system
includes an indicator on the
instrument panel and a beeper to
remind you and your passengers to
fasten your seat belts.
This system monitors the seat belts
in all seating positions.
If you turn the ignition switch to the

your seat belt is not fastened before
the beeper stops, the indicator will
stop flashing but remain on.
