when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
reminder works as follows:
1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will
come on. The front passenger’s seat
belt reminder light (if equipped) will also
come on if a front passenger does not
fasten his/her seat belt.
2) After the vehicle’s speed has reached
about 15 km/h, the driver’s seat belt
reminder light will blink and a buzzer
will sound for about 95 seconds.
3) The reminder light will remain on until

vehicle speed is less than 15 km/h, the
corresponding light will be highlighted.
