Seat belt warning

Driver's seat belt warning

As a reminder to the driver, the seat belt
warning light will blink for approximately
6 seconds each time you turn the ignition
switch ON regardless of belt fastening.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned ON,
the seat belt warning light and chime will
operate for approximately 6 seconds. The
warning chime will stop at once if the
seat belt is fastened.
If the driver's seat belt is disconnected
after the ignition switch is turned ON, the
seat belt warning light (and chime - the
vehicle speed is over 5 km/h (3 mph)) will
operate for approximately 6 seconds.

SEAT BELTS

WARNING

• For maximum restraint system

protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the car
is moving.

• Seat belts are most effective

when seatbacks are in the
upright position.

• Children age 12 and under must

always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil-
dren to ride in the front passen-
ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat, he/she
must be properly belted and the
seat should be moved as far back
as possible.

• Never wear the shoulder belt

under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across your
collarbone.

• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.

A twisted belt can't do its job as
well. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt
webbing is straight and not twist-
ed.

• Be careful not to damage the belt

webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged, replace it.

• When you fasten the seat belt, be

careful not to latch the seat belt in
buckles of other seat. It's very dan-
gerous and you may not be pro-
tected by the seat belt properly.

• Do not unfasten the seat belt and

do not fasten and unfasten the
seat belt repeatedly while driving.
This could result in loss of con-
trol, and an accident causing
death, serious injury, or property
damage.

• When fastening the seat belt,

make sure that the seat belt does
not pass over objects that are
hard or can break easily.

• Make sure there is nothing in the

buckle. The seat belt may not be
fastened securely.
