flashes and a chime comes on to
remind drivers to fasten their safety
belt. Then the light stays on solid
until the belt is buckled. This cycle
may continue several times if the
driver remains or becomes
unbuckled while the vehicle is
moving.
If the driver safety belt is buckled,
neither the light nor chime
comes on.
Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light

reminder light near the passenger
airbag status indicator. See

page 3‑27.
When the vehicle is started this light
flashes and a chime may come on
to remind the front passenger to
fasten their safety belt. Then the
light stays on solid until the belt is
buckled. This cycle may continue
several times if the passenger
remains or becomes unbuckled
while the vehicle is moving.
If the front passenger safety belt is
buckled, neither the chime nor the
light comes on.The front passenger safety belt
warning light and chime may turn on
if an object is put on the seat such

the instrument cluster to alert the
driver that passengers may need to
fasten their safety belts. After the
passenger safety belt is buckled,
the corresponding safety belt
symbol in the instrument cluster
turns green. If a safety belt is not
initially buckled, the instrument
cluster displays a gray safety belt
symbol. While the vehicle is moving,
if a second row passenger that
was previously buckled becomes
unbuckled, the corresponding safety
belt symbol will change to flashing
red and a chime may sound.Airbag Readiness Light
This light shows if there is an
electrical problem with the airbag

on for several seconds when the
vehicle is started. If the light does
not come on then, have it fixed

on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means
