Front passenger's warning light
(Australia models)
If the vehicle is driven at a speed no
higher than approximately 20 km/h (12.5
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 illuminate con-
tinuously.
If the vehicle subsequently reaches a
speed of approximately 20 km/h (12.5
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 1 second of steady illumination.
At the same time, a buzzer will start a
repeated cycle consisting of 5 seconds of
sounding followed by a 1-second pause. If
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
either of the unfastened seatbelts is
fastened at this time, the warning light
corresponding to that seatbelt will imme-
diately turn off but the buzzer will continue
operating unless the remaining seatbelt is
fastened. This condition (continued opera-
tion 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).
. The occupant detection system of
the front passenger's seat detects the
passenger by the weight on the seat.
Therefore, if there is a heavy object on
the seat, the warning system to fasten
the seatbelt is activated.
. If you use a cushion on a passen-
ger's seat, there is the possibility that
the occupant detection system cannot
detect the passenger.
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
