Driver's warning light
This device causes the seatbelt warning
light on the combination meter to illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is turned to
ON to remind the driver to wear the
seatbelt.
If the vehicle is driven at a speed no
higher than approximately 20 km/h (12.5
mph) with the driver s seatbelt not fas-
tened, the warning light will illuminate
continuously.
If the vehicle subsequently reaches a
speed of approximately 20 km/h (12.5
mph) with the driver s seatbelt not fas-
tened, the warning light 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
Instruments and controls/Warning and indicator lights
sounding for 5 seconds followed by a 1-
second pause. If the seatbelt is fastened
at this time, the warning light will turn off
and the buzzer will stop sounding imme-
diately.
This condition will continue for approxi-
mately 108 seconds. If the driver s seat-
belt is still not fastened when the 108-
second period has elapsed, the warning
light will stop flashing and the buzzer will
stop sounding. The warning light, how-
ever, will remain illuminated continuously
unless the seatbelt is fastened.
