Driver’s seat belt reminder
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
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
the driver’s seat belt is buckled.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
Step 1) or 2) according to the vehicle’s
speed. When the vehicle’s speed is less
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
Step 1). When the vehicle’s speed is more
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
Step 2).
The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the driver’s seat belt is buckled
or the ignition switch is turned off, or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF).Front passenger’s seat belt reminder (if
equipped)

will activate only when there is a passen-
ger sitting in the front seat. In some situa-
tions, however, such as when you place
heavy objects in the front seat, the seat
belt reminder can be activated as if a pas-
senger was present. The front passenger’s
seat belt reminder works in the same man-
ner as the driver’s seat belt reminder.
Rear passenger’s seat belt reminder (if
equipped)
If a rear seat belt is not fastened when the
engine is started, all the rear passenger’s
seat belt reminder lights will come on for
about 35 seconds and then go out. Within
this 35 seconds, the corresponding
reminder is highlighted. The reminder
fades when the seat belt is fastened.
The rear passenger’s seat belt reminder
lights will also come on for about 35 sec-
onds in the following conditions.
• If a seat belt is unfastened when the
vehicle speed is less than 15 km/h, the
corresponding light will be highlighted.
• If a seat belt is unfastened when the
vehicle speed is more than 15 km/h, the
corresponding light will be highlighted
