Seat Belt Warning Light (Front Seat)
(Except Mexico)
The warning light flashes for about 6 seconds if the driver or front passenger's seat is occupied and the seat belt is not fastened with the vehicle power 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.
In addition, when the warning light flashes, a warning sound is activated.
Wear the seat belt.
-
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 sensor that detects an occupant to function properly, do not sit on the front passenger's seat with a cushion or other object on it. 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.
