Driver and/or front passenger have not fastened their safety belts, if front passenger seat is
occupied. Fasten safety belts.
When the ignition is switched on, several warning and indicator lights come on briefly for a function
check. They go out after a few seconds.
A warning chime also sounds.
The safety belt warning light comes on for 6seconds when the ignition is switched on. A warning
chime also sounds for up to 6seconds if the driver's safety belt is not buckled. The chime stops
sooner if the driver buckles his or her safety belt. The warning light and the chime go out when both
driver and front passenger have buckled their safety belts.
If the driver and front seat passenger do not both fasten their safety belts within about 24seconds af‐
ter the chime stops and the vehicle is moving at a speed of more than about 15mph (25km/h), the
chime will again sound for about 6seconds, then go off for about 24seconds, then sound again for
about another 6seconds. The same thing happens if one of the safety belts is fastened and then un‐
fastened while the vehicle is moving. The safety belt warning light also flashes. The warning chime
continues to sound at 24second intervals for up to 2minutes. No chime sounds at speeds of less
than about 5mph (8km/h).
If the ignition is switched on, the safety belt warning light stays on until the driver and front passen‐
ger have both buckled their safety belts.
WARNING
Not wearing a safety belt or wearing an improperly positioned safety belt increases the risk of se‐
vere personal injury or death. Safety belts offer optimum protection only when used correctly.
