A chime and warning light are used to
remind the driver to fasten the seat belt.
When the ignition key is turned to the
``ON'' position, the warning light will illu-

seconds. If the driver 's seat belt remains unfastened
approximately 1 minute later, the warning light will flash

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ``ON'' position.3. With the seat belt still fastened, confirm that the
warning light goes off.
4. Within 1 minute of seeing the warning light go off,

5. Turn the ignition switch to the ``LOCK'' or ``ACC''
position. The buzzer (with a short tone) will sound once
to indicate that the setting change is complete.
