Driver’s seat belt reminder/warning lamp and display
Warning lamp
A tone and warning lamp are used to remind the driver to fasten the seat belt.
If the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position without the driver’s seat belt being fastened, a warning lamp will blink and a buzzer will sound for approximately 6 seconds to remind you to fasten your seat belt.
If you then drive with the seat belt unfastened for longer than a minute from when the ignition switch was turned on, the warning lamp will come on and blink repeatedly and the tone will sound intermittently.
The warning lamp and the tone alarm will stop after approximately 90 seconds.
If you then repeatedly stop and start your vehicle with the seat belt unfastened, the warning lamp/display and tone will remind you to fasten your seat belt every time the vehicle starts moving. You will also be reminded to fasten your seat belt in this way when you remove your seat belt while driving.
The warning lamp and the tone alarm go off when the seat belt is fastened.
Note
► At the same time, “FASTEN SEAT BELT” is displayed on the information screen in the multi-information display.
