Seat Belt Reminder
Your vehicle monitors front seat belt use. If the ignition switch is turned to
ON before the driver's
seat belt is fastened, a beeper will sound and the indicator will blink. If the
driver does not fasten the belt before the beeper stops, the indicator will remain
on. The beeper will also periodically sound and the indicator will blink while driving
until the driver's and front passenger’s seat belts are fastened.
About Your Seat Belts
If a rear seat passenger moves around and extends the seat belt, the lockable retractor may activate. If this happens, release the retractor by unfastening the seat belt and allow the belt to retract completely. Then refasten the belt.
Seat Belt Reminder
The indicator will also come on if a front passenger does not fasten their seat
belt within 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON
.
When no one is sitting in the front passenger's seat, or a child or small adult is riding there, the indicator will not come on. This is because the weight sensors in the seat cannot detect their presence.
