Safety Belt Reminders

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the engine is started, a chime
sounds for several seconds to
remind a driver to fasten the safety
belt, unless the driver safety belt is
already buckled.

The safety belt light comes on and
stays on for several seconds, then
flashes for several more.

This chime and light are repeated
if the driver remains unbuckled
and the vehicle is in motion. If the
driver safety belt is already buckled,
neither the chime nor the light
comes on.

Airbag Readiness Light

The system checks the airbag's
electrical system for possible
malfunctions. If the light stays on
it indicates there is an electrical
problem. The system check
includes the airbag sensor, the
pretensioners, the airbag modules,
the wiring, and the crash sensing
and diagnostic module. For more
information on the airbag system,
see Airbag System on page 3‑22.
