          Seat Belt Warning Beep

              Except  Mexico

    If the driver's seat belt is not fastened 

when the ignition is switched ON, a beep 

sound will be heard for about 6 seconds. If 

the driver or the front passenger's seat belt 

is not fastened and the vehicle is driven 

at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 

mph), a beep sound will be heard again for 

a speci

period of time has elapsed, the beep sound 

will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls 

below 20 km/h (12 mph).

    If the vehicle speed exceeds about 20 

km/h (12 mph) with the driver or front 

passenger's seat belt unfastened, a warning 

beep sounds continuously. If the seat belt 

remains unfastened, the beep sound stops 

once and then continues for about 90 

seconds. The beep stops after the driver or 

front passenger's seat belt is fastened.

  Until a seat belt is fastened or a given 

period of time has elapsed, the beep sound 

will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls 

below 20 km/h (12 mph).

  Placing heavy items on the front 

passenger's seat may cause the front 

passenger's seat belt warning function 

to operate depending on the weight of 

the item.

y

  To allow the front passenger seat weight 

sensor to function properly, do not place 

and sit on an additional seat cushion on 

the front passenger's seat. The sensor

passenger's seat, the warning beep may 

not operate.
