in the “OFF” position.

ment panel lights automatically turn on or
off.

not fastened. Unless the driver fastens the
belt, the light keeps flashing and the
buzzer stops after about 6 seconds.

(9 mph) with the seat belt unfastened, the
buzzer will sound for about 10 seconds.
Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened,
the buzzer will sound in a different tone
for 20 seconds. Even if the vehicle speed
drops below 15 km/h (9 mph), the buzzer
will continue to sound. To stop the buzzer,
fasten the seat belt. If the buzzer still
sounds, make sure the front passenger ’s
seat belt is fastened.

“START”, the reminder light flashes if a
passenger sits in the front passenger seat
and does not fasten the seat belt.
