A tone and warning lamp are used to remind the
driver and front passenger to fasten the seat belt.
NOTE
l For the front passenger seat, the warning func-
tion works only while a person is sitting on
the seat.
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, the warning lamp will come on and a tone
will sound for about 6 seconds. If the front seat belt
remains unfastened approximately 1 minute later,
the warning lamp will flash and the tone sound in-
termittently (each 12 times) when the vehicle is driv-
en. 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 mov-
ing from a stop. When the seat belt is fastened, the
warnings will stop.
WARNINGl In order to reduce the risk of serious or fa-
tal injury in an accident, always wear
your own seat belt. Do not allow anyone
to ride in your vehicle unless he or she is
also seated and wearing a seat belt. Chil-
dren should additionally be restrained in
a secure child restraint system.

ger seat, a sensor in the seat cushion may, de-

gage, cause the warning tone to sound and
the warning lamp to come on.
