Essential Safety Equipment

Seat Belt Systems

If the front passenger seat belt is not fastened and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning light will flash and a beep sound will be heard.

Placing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.

Once the beep sound is heard, it continues sounding even if the vehicle speed lowers to 20 km/h (12 mph) or less until the seat belt is fastened or the beep sound period has passed.

NOTE

lTo allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor

interference.

lWhen a small child sits on the front passenger seat, it is possible that neither the warning light nor the warning beep operate.
