Laws in your state may require seat
belt use.
Seat belt warning buzzer and

With the key in steering lock posi­
tion 2, a warning buzzer sounds for a
short time if the driver's seat belt is

When someone enters the car the re­
minder lamp, located below the front
interior/reading lamp, flashes for a
short time to remind all occupants to
fasten seat belts.

shoulder and lap. Do not twist the
belt doing this.
• Push latch plate (1) into buckle (2)
