Seat belt warning (for driver’s seat)

The driver's seat belt warning light and
chime will activate to the following table
when the ignition switch is in "ON" posi-
tion.

(Continued)
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. Belts
should not be worn with straps
twisted. Each belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the occu-
pant's lap.

WARNING

• No modifications or additions

should be made by the user
which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from oper-
ating to remove slack, or prevent
the seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.

• 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.
