Seat belt warning
Seat belt warning light
As a reminder to the driver, the seat belt
warning light will blink for approximately
6 seconds each time you turn the engine
start/stop button ON regardless of belt
fastening.
If the driver’s seat belt is unfastened after
the engine start/stop button is ON, the
seat belt warning light blinks again for
approximately 6 seconds.
Seat belt warning chime
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the engine start/stop button is
turned ON, the seat belt warning chime
will sound for approximately 6 seconds.
At this time, if the seat belt is fastened,
the chime will stop at once.
Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab (1) into
the buckle (2). There will be an audible
"click" when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt por-
tion is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly around your hips. If you lean for-
ward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will
extend and let you move around. If there
is a sudden stop or impact, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.

careful not to latch the seat belt in
buckles of other seat. It's very dan-
gerous and you may not be pro-
tected by the seat belt properly.

This could result in loss of con-
trol, and an accident causing
death, serious injury, or property
damage.

not pass over objects that are
hard or can break easily.
• Make sure there is nothing in the
