INSTRUMENT PANEL Tachometer Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to ON, a chime will come on for several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts, unless the driver's safety belt is already buckled. WARNING It is absolutely essential that the driver and passengers wear their seat belts at all times. Persons who are not wearing seat belts have a much greater risk of injury if an accident occurs. Make a regular habit of buckling your seat belt before putting the key in the ignition. Air Bag Readiness Light The safety belt light will also come on and stay on until the driver's safety belt is buckled. If the driver's belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on. There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel. The air bag readiness system checks the air bag's electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the air bag sensor, the air bag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more information on the air bag system, see "Air Bag Systems" in section 1. The tachometer shows your engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). CAUTION Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red area, or engine damage may occur. The damage would not be covered by your warranty. Safety Belt Reminder Tone If your vehicle has this feature, a tone (instead of a chime) will sound for several seconds when the ignition is ON to remind people to fasten their safety belts. The tone will not sound if the driver's safety belt is fastened. S4U3042A This light will come on when you start your vehicle, and it will flash for a few seconds. Then the light should go out. This means the system is ready. 3-19
