passenger
The < seat belt warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster reminds you that all occupants
should fasten their seat belts. The
belt warning lamp may light up continuously
or it may flash. Additionally, there may be a
warning tone.
The < seat belt warning lamp goes out and
the warning tone ceases when the driver and
the front passenger have fastened their seat
belt.

whether the driver or the front passenger is
already secured, the < seat belt warning
lamp lights up for six seconds after the engine
has been started. The < seat belt warning
lamp then goes out if both the driver and the
front passenger have fastened their seat belt.
