If Trouble Arises

Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds

*Some models.

Signal

Warning

Action to be taken

Seat Belt Warning 

Light

The seat belt warning light illuminates if the driver or front passenger's seat is occupied and 

the seat belt is not fastened with the ignition switched ON.

Seat belt reminder

If the vehicle is driven with the driver or front passenger's seat belt unfastened, the seat belt 

warning light illuminates and a warning beep sounds.

NOTE

If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger seat 

is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the 

warning light will flash and a beep sound will be heard. After a short time, the warning light 

stops flashing, but remains illuminated, and the beep sound stops.

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).

NOTE



The warning light flashes and a beep sound will be heard for about 6 seconds if the driver's 

seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON.



If a driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened after the beep sound turns off 

(warning light remains illuminated), and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), the 

warning light flashes and beep sound activates again.



Placing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger 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 seat. The sensor may not function 

properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.



When a small child sits on the front passenger seat, it is possible that the warning light will 

not operate.

Door-Ajar Warning 

Light

The light turns on if any door is not closed 

securely.

Close the door securely.

Low Washer Fluid 

Level Warning 

Light

*

This warning light indicates that little 

washer fluid remains.

Add washer fluid (page 

6-32).
