Seat belt reminder
The seat belt reminder is intended to alert all occupants of the vehicle that their seat belts should be fastened before the vehicle begins to move.
The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light near the rearview mirror and a symbol in the instrument panel that alert all occupants of the vehicle to fasten their seat belts. The indicator light will be on for several seconds from the time the ignition is switched on. There will also be an audible signal if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.
If the front seat belts are unbuckled while the vehicle is in motion, the audible signal and warning light will be active for a several seconds.
Rear seats
The seat belt reminder in the rear seat has two additional functions:
- It provides information about which seat belts are fastened in the rear seat. A message will appear in the information display when a belt is being used. This message will disappear after several seconds or can be erased by pressing the OK button on the left steering wheel lever.
- It also provides a reminder if one of the occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in motion. A visual and audible signal will be given. These signals will stop when the seat belt has been re-buckled or can be stopped by pressing the OK button.
- The message Unbelted in rear seat will appear in the information display if one of the rear doors has been opened.
The message in the information display can always be accessed, even if it has been erased, by pressing the OK button to display stored messages.
