Except Mexico
The seat belt warning light turns on if the driver or pas-
senger's seat is occupied and the seat belt is not fastened
with the ignition switched ON.
If the driver or passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only
when the 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 passenger occupant classification sensor
to function properly, do not place and sit on an addi-
tional seat cushion on the 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 passenger's seat, the
warning light may not operate.

properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat
cushion on the passenger's seat. The sensor may not
