beep sounds continuously. If the seat belt
remains unfastened, the beep sound stops
once and then continues for about 90
seconds. The beep stops after the driver or
front passenger's seat belt is fastened.

period of time has elapsed, the beep sound
will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls
below 20 km/h (12 mph).

passenger's seat may cause the front
passenger's seat belt warning function
to operate depending on the weight of
the item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on
the front passenger's seat. The sensor
may not function properly because the
additional seat cushion could cause

passenger's seat, the warning beep may
not operate.

The warning beep only sounds if a seat
belt is unfastened after being fastened.
