pending on the model version) if the driver or
passenger have not fastened their seat belts.
An audible warning signal will sound for a
few seconds if the seat belts are not fastened
as the vehicle drives off and reaches a speed of more than approximately 25 km/h
(15 mph) or if the se

at belts are unfastened
while the vehicle is in motion. The warning
light will also flash .

played for approximately 30 seconds. The in-
dication can be hidden by pressing the 0.0/SET button on the dash panel.

30 seconds when a seat belt in the rear seats
is unfastened while the vehicle is in motion.

vehicle is travelling at over 25 km/h
(15 mph).
