1) Front passenger seat
If the vehicle is driven at a speed no
higher than approximately 20 km/h (13
mph) with the driver's seatbelt and/or
passenger's seatbelt not fastened, the
warning light(s) corresponding to the un-
fastened seatbelt(s) will come on and
stays on continuously.
If the vehicle subsequently reaches a
speed of approximately 20 km/h (13
mph) with the driver's seatbelt and/or
passenger's seatbelt not fastened, the
warning light(s) will start a repeated cycle
consisting of 5 seconds of flashing fol-
lowed by a 1-second pause. At the same
time, a buzzer will start a repeated cycle
consisting of 5 seconds of sounding
followed by a 1-second pause. If either
of the unfastened seatbelts is fastened at
this time, the warning light corresponding
to that seatbelt will immediately go off but
the buzzer will continue operating unless
the remaining seatbelt is fastened. This
condition (continued operation of the
buzzer unless the remaining seatbelt is
fastened) will continue for approximately
108 seconds.
NOTE
If the driver's and passenger's seat-
belts are not fastened simultaneously
(if one seatbelt is fastened significantly
earlier or later than the other), the
buzzer may sound longer (10 seconds
maximum).
If the driver's seatbelt and/or the passen-
ger's seatbelt is still not fastened when the
108-second period has elapsed, the warn-
ing light(s) will stop flashing and the
buzzer will stop sounding. The warning
light(s), however, will stay on continuously
unless the corresponding seatbelt(s) is
fastened.
! Latin America models
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt
warning device at the driver's seat, as
required by current safety standards.
This device causes the seatbelt warning
light on the instrument panel to light up
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 (13
mph) with the driver's seatbelt not fas-
tened, the warning light will come on and
stays on continuously.
If the vehicle subsequently reaches a
speed of approximately 20 km/h (13
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 a 1-second pause.
If the seatbelt is fastened at this time, the
warning light will immediately go off. This
condition will continue for approximately
108 seconds.
