Belt warning for the driver and front

passenger

The 7 seat belt warning lamp in the

instrument cluster is a reminder for all

occupants to fasten their seat belts.

Regardless of whether the driver's and front-

passenger seat belts have already been

fastened, the 7 seat belt warning lamp

lights up for six seconds each time the engine

is started. It then goes out once the driver and

the front passenger have fastened their seat

belts.
If the driver and/or front passenger have not

fastened their seat belts after the engine has

been started, an additional warning tone

sounds. This warning tone switches off after

approximately six seconds or once the

driver's seat belt is fastened.

If after six seconds, the driver or front

passenger have not fastened their seat belts

and the doors are closed:

R

the 7 seat belt warning lamp remains

illuminated as long as either the driver's or

front-passenger seat belt is not fastened

R

and if vehicle speed once exceeds

15 mph (25 km/h), the 7 seat belt

warning lamp lights up. A warning tone also

sounds with increasing intensity for a

maximum of 60 seconds or until the driver

or front-passenger seat belt has been

fastened.

If the driver or front-passenger seat belt is

unfastened while the vehicle is in motion, the

7 seat belt warning lamps light up and a

warning tone sounds again.
The warning tone ceases even if the driver or

front-passenger seat belt has still not been

fastened after 60 seconds. The 7 seat belt

warning lamp stops flashing but remains

illuminated.
After the vehicle comes to a standstill, the

warning tone is reactivated and the 7 seat

belt warning lamp flashes again if the vehicle

speed again exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h).
The 7 seat belt warning lamp only goes

out if:

R

both the driver and the front passenger

have fastened their seat belts.

or

R

the vehicle is stationary and a door is open.
