Action to be taken

Seat Belt Warning Light

Except Mexico

The seat belt warning light turns on if the driver 

or front passenger's seat is occupied and the seat 

belt is not fastened with the ignition switched 

ON.

If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is 

unfastened (only when the front passenger's seat 

is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed 

faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning 

light flashes. After a short time, the warning 

light stops flashing, but remains illuminated.

NOTE



The warning light flashes for about 6 seconds 

if the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the 

ignition is switched ON.



To allow the front passenger occupant 

classification sensor to function properly, do 

not place and sit on an additional seat cushion 

on the front passenger's seat. The sensor may 

not function properly because the additional 

seat cushion could cause sensor interference.



If a small child is seated on the front 

passenger's seat, the warning light may not 

operate.

Mexico

The seat belt warning light turns on if the driver 

or front passenger's seat is occupied and the seat 

belt is not fastened with the ignition switched 

ON.

If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is 

unfastened (only when the front passenger's seat 

is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed 

faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning 

light flashes. After a short time, the warning 

light stops flashing, but remains illuminated. If 

a seat belt remains unfastened, the warning light 

flashes again for a given period of time.

NOTE



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.



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 may not function properly 

because the additional seat cushion could cause 

sensor interference.
