If the vehicle is driven with the driver or front passenger's seat belt unfastened, the seat belt
warning light illuminates and a warning beep sounds.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger seat
is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the
warning light will fl ash and a beep sound will be heard. After a short time, the warning
light stops fl ashing, but remains illuminated, and the beep sound stops. If a seat belt
remains unfastened, the warning light fl ashes and the beep sound activates again for a
given period of time.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given period of time has elapsed, the beep sound will not
stop even if the vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).

(warning light remains illuminated), and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph),
the warning light fl ashes and beep sound activates again.
Placing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat
belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.

will not operate.
Rear seat
If the rear seat belts are not fastened while the ignition is switched ON, the driver and the
passenger will be informed by the warning lights.
The warning lights illuminate in two colours. When the seat belt is not fastened, the
warning light illumination is red. When the seat belt is fastened, the illumination is green.
The warning lights operate even when there is no passenger on the rear seat. The warning
beep only sounds if a seat belt is unfastened after being fastened.
NOTE
If the rear seat belts are not fastened in a specifi ed period of time after the engine has
