Safety Belt Reminder Light- Page 132

2-62

Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you
will see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they’re working. If you 
are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.

Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.

When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly 

--

 and even

dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
come on for about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts, unless the driver’s safety belt is
already buckled.

The safety belt light will
also come on and stay on
for about 20 seconds, 
then it will flash for 
about 55 seconds.

If the driver’s belt is already buckled, neither the chime
nor the light will come on.
