Driver Seat Belt Warning
CAUTION:
To help avoid personal injury from unrepaired crash damage to a restraint system, perform the seat belt check for each seat belt system. Replace the seat belt system if there is any doubt about the condition of system components.
The seat belt reminder system is a system alerting with sound and light when the seat belt is unbelted.
The severity of warning level depends on the vehicle status and is signalized for driver with a seat belt warning lamp and sound.
On all except North America Vehicles, once the ignition turns ON, the seat belt warning lamp will turn ON for 5 seconds and turn OFF for 2 seconds regardless of seat belt wearing. After this if the seat belt is unbelted, the warning lamp will flash for 90 seconds and then illuminate until the seat belt is belted. At this time if the seat belt is belted, the warning lamp will turn OFF at once.
The seat belt reminder after this will follow the below process according to vehicle status.
