Safety Belt Reminders

Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light

There is a driver safety belt
reminder light on the instrument
panel cluster.

When the vehicle is started, this
light flashes and a chime may come
on to remind the driver to fasten
their safety belt. Then the light stays
on solid until the belt is buckled.

This cycle may continue several
times if the driver remains or
becomes unbuckled while the
vehicle is moving.

If the driver safety belt is buckled,
neither the light nor the chime
comes on.

Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light

When the vehicle is started, this
light flashes and a chime may come
on to remind front passengers to
fasten their safety belt. Then the
light stays on solid until the
belt is buckled.

This cycle continues several times
if the front passenger remains or
becomes unbuckled while the
vehicle is moving.

If the front passenger safety belt is
buckled, neither the chime nor the
light comes on.

The front passenger safety belt
reminder light and chime may turn
on if an object is put on the seat
such as a briefcase, handbag,
grocery bag, laptop, or other

electronic device. To turn off the
reminder light and/or chime, remove
the object from the seat or buckle
the safety belt.
