Seats Belts (cont'd) Fasten Seat Belt Warning Light and Warning Beeper Lap Belt Warning Indicator: Both the light and the warning beeper will go on for about six seconds if the ignition switch is turned on when the driver's lap belt is not fastened. The beeper will not go on if the driver's lap belt is fastened, but the warning light will come on for about six seconds each time, to remind the driver to have passengers put their belts on. Automatic Shoulder Belt Warning Indicator: The warning light will come on if either of the automatic shoulder belts is unlatched with the ignition ON. The beeper will sound for approximately six seconds while the warning light is ON. Relatch the belt: the light should go off when the belt is latched. The warning light will also come on while the shoulder belt buckle moves from its front off position to its rear locked position. Automatic Shoulder Belt Malfunction Indicator: The warning light will flash and the beeper will sound rapidly if either shoulder belt buckle stops before completing its full cycle (see page 120 for normal operation). NOTE: If the shoulder belt's tensioner mechanism locks and prevents the buckle from moving fully forward when you want to get out, recycle the system by closing the door and reopening it. The buckle should move fully forward; if it does not, recline the seat-back and use Emergency Belt Release (see page 11). When the system does not function by either method, have the system checked by an authorized Honda dealer. If the light and beeper do not function at all, or if they come on even with the belts latched and doors fully closed, it indicates a malfunction in the seat belt system. In the event of a collision, severe personal injury could result. The system should be checked immediately by an authorized Honda dealer.
