SEAT BELT CHECKS
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a
fault and the belt should be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts or wear to the webbing,
and the condition and security of the
mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and mounting
points.
• With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked.
• With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that
it unreels smoothly with no snatches or
snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again
checking for smooth operation.
• Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the
tongue plate and give a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent any
further unreeling.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet those
criteria, immediately contact your
Dealer/Authorized Repairer.
SEAT BELT WARNING LAMP
The warning lamp will also flash in conjunction
with the Beltminder warning chime.
BELTMINDER
A front and rear seat Beltminder system warns
the driver when the seat belt of an occupied
seat is not fastened or is unfastened during a
journey.
A vehicle graphic in the message center
indicates which seat belts are fastened at the
start of a journey and when a seat belt is
fastened or unfastened during a journey.
Each seating position is represented by a
passenger icon, the color of which indicates
the seat belt status:
• No color - seat belt not fastened.
• Green - seat belt fastened.
• Red - driver’s or occupied front seat
passenger’s seat belt is not fastened or is
unfastened while the vehicle is moving
forwards.
In addition, an audible warning will sound
under the following conditions:
• The driver’s or occupied front seat
passenger’s seat belt is not fastened or is
unfastened while the vehicle is moving
forwards.
• A rear seat belt is unfastened.
Note: If a heavy object is placed on the front
passenger seat, it may activate the Beltminder
feature. It is recommended that the object be
placed in the luggage compartment.
The warning lamp in the
instrument panel stays illuminated
when the driver’s or front
passenger’s seat belt is not
fastened (if the passenger seat is
occupied). The lamp should
extinguish when the seat belt is
fastened.
