G017726
The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time dependent. The visualreminder is located in the roof console and inthe combined instrument panel (p. 59). Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system.
Rear seatThe seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has twosubfunctions:
• Provides information on which seatbelts (p. 23) are being used in the rear seat. Amessage appears in the combined instru-ment panel when the seatbelts are in use,or if one of the rear doors has beenopened. The message is cleared auto- matically after driving for approximately30 seconds or after pressing the indicatorstalk (p. 100)
OK button.
• Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-belts is unfastened during travel. Thiswarning takes the form of a message inthe combined instrument panel along withthe audio/visual signal. The warning stopswhen the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it canalso be acknowledged manually bypressing the
OK button.
The message in the combined instrument panel showing which seatbelts are in use isalways shown. Press the OK button to see
stored messages.
Certain marketsAn acoustic signal and indicator lamp remindthe driver and front seat passenger to use aseatbelt if either of them is not wearing one.At low speed, the audible reminder will soundfor the first 6 seconds.
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts (p. 23) are equipped with belt tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten-sioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of asufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt thenprovides more effective restraint for the occu-pants.
WARNING
Never insert the tongue of the passenger's seatbelt into the buckle on the driver'sside. Always insert the tongue of the seat-belt into the buckle on the correct side. Donot make any damages on seatbelts norinsert any foreign objects into a buckle.The seatbelts and buckles would thenpossibly not function as intended in theevent of a collision. There is a risk ofserous injury.
