Seat Belt Alarm System: General

When the ignition switch is turned ON, the seat belt warning light in the combination meter illuminates for 6 seconds and the warning buzzer sounds to warn the driver to fasten the seat belt. The seat belt warning light turns off and the buzzer ceases when the seat belt tongue plate is inserted into the seat belt buckle.

If the driver starts the vehicle without fastening the seat belt, the warning light illuminates or blinks and the buzzer sounds to warn the driver to fasten the seat belt. The seat belt warning light turns off and the buzzer ceases when the seat belt tongue plate is inserted into the seat belt buckle.

The passenger's seat side is also provided with a seatbelt alarm system, which turns ON the passenger's seat belt warning light when it detects a passenger through the passenger sensor (load cell sensor). If the driver starts the vehicle without fastening the seat belt, the seat belt warning light illuminates or blinks and the buzzer sounds to warn the passenger to fasten the seat belt.
