Seat Belt Warning

Light

Mexico

The seat belt warning light turns on if the
driver or passenger'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 un-
fastened (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 re-
mains illuminated. If a seat belt remains un-
fastened, the warning light flashes again for
a given period of time.

NOTE



Placing heavy items on the passenger's
seat may cause the passenger's seat belt
warning function to operate depending on
the weight of the item.



To allow the passenger seat weight sensor
to function properly, do not place and sit
on an additional seat cushion on the pas-
senger's seat. The sensor may not function
properly because the additional seat cush-
ion could cause sensor interference.



If a small child is seated on the passeng-
er's seat, the warning light may not oper-
ate.

Fasten the seat belts.

nates while driving, the fuel-filler cap may
