The seat belt warning light turns on if the driver or front passenger's seat is occupied and the seat belt is not fastened with the power switch switched ON.

If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger's seat is occupied) and if the vehicle is driven at about 20 km/h (12 mph) or faster, or about 10 km/h (6 mph) or faster for a continuous 30 seconds, with the seat belt unfastened, the warning light flashes for a certain period. After a short time, the warning light stops flashing, but remains illuminated.

 

---

• The warning light flashes for about 6 seconds if the driver or front passenger's seat is not fastened when the power switch is switched ON.

• Placing heavy items on the front passenger's seat may cause the front passenger's seat belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.

• To allow the front passenger occupant classification sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger's seat. The sensor may not function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.

• If a small child is seated on the front passenger's seat, the warning light may not operate.

If a tire pressure decreases below the specified air pressure, the TPMS warning light turns on.

At the same time, a message and the tire pressure of each tire are displayed on the multi-information display alternately. In addition, the tire (s) with low air pressure is displayed in yellow.

 

---

Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds if the TPMS warning light turns on or flashes:

Driving the vehicle at high speeds while the TPMS warning light is turned on or flashing is dangerous because the brake performance and the steering wheel operability will be reduced. If the vehicle is driven at high speeds or the brakes are suddenly applied, it could lead to an accident. Gradually apply the brakes to lower the vehicle's speed.

Do not ignore the TPMS warning light when it is turned on or flashing:

Continuing to drive the vehicle while ignoring the illumination/flashing of the TPMS warning light is dangerous because a tire may burst which could lead to an accident. Take appropriate measures as soon as possible.

While the TPMS is learning the tire positions, such as immediately after a tire position has been changed, the tire pressure at the tire position prior to it being changed is displayed until the system completes the learning. For this reason, the tire pressures displayed for the tire positions may be different from the actual tire pressures at the tire positions.

Close Note

View Note

Action to be taken

Adjust the tire pressures to the appropriate pressures.

Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure (Search).

 

---

• Adjust the tire pressures while the tires are cool. Because the air pressure in the tires fluctuates depending on the temperature, before adjusting the tire pressures, let the vehicle sit for an hour or drive it only within a 1.6 km (1 mile) distance. If the tire pressures are adjusted while the tires are warm, the tire pressures may decrease below the specified air pressure after cooling down which could turn on the warning light. In addition, because the air pressure in the tires decreases when the ambient temperature is low, if the ambient temperature increases, an illuminated TPMS warning light may turn off. Under any circumstances, always adjust the tire pressures while the tires are cool.

• After adjusting the tire pressures, the TPMS warning light turns off. If the TPMS warning light does not turn off, drive the vehicle at a speed of about 25 km (16 mph) or faster for 3 minutes or longer and make sure the warning light turns off.

Close Caution

If the TPMS warning light remains on even after adjusting the tire pressures, one of the tires may have a puncture.
