belt is unfastened (only when the front
passenger's seat is occupied) and if the

mph) or faster, or about 10 km/h (6
mph) or faster for a continuous 30
seconds, with the seat belt unfastened,
the warning light flashes for a certain
period. After a short time, the warning
light stops
flashing , but remains
illuminated.
NOTE
The warning light flashes for about 6
seconds if the driver or front
passenger's seat is not fastened
when the ignition is switched ON.

Placing heavy items on the front
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
occupant classification 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
