Seat belt reminder/warning lamp*E00409800208
A tone and warning lamp are used to remind the driver and
front passenger to fasten their seat belt.
NOTE●For the front passenger seat, the warning function works
only while a person is sitting on the seat. When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, the warn-
ing lamp will come on and a tone will sound for about 6 sec-
onds. If the front seat belt rema
ins unfastened approximately 1
minute later, the warning lamp will flash and the tone sound

If the passenger subsequently unfastens the seat belt while
driving, the warning lamp and tone will issue further warnings.
And if the seat belt remains unfastened, the warning lamp and
tone will issue further warnings each time the vehicle starts
moving from a standstill. When th e seat belt is fastened, the
warnings will stop.
NOTE● When luggage is placed on th e front passenger seat, a sen-
sor in the seat cushion may, depending on the weight and
position of the luggage, cause the warning tone to sound
and the warning lamp to come on.

in an accident, always wear your own seat belt. Do
