Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Seat Belt System Components Your seat belt system includes lap/ shoulder belts in all seating positions. The front seat belts are also equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners and, on models with collision mitigation braking system™ (CMBS™), seat belt e-pretensioners. The seat belt system includes an indicator on the instrument panel and a beeper to remind you and your front passenger to fasten your seat belts. This system monitors the front seat belts. If you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position before your seat belt is fastened, the beeper will sound and the indicator will flash. If your seat belt is not fastened before the beeper stops, the indicator will stop flashing but remain on. If a front passenger does not fasten their seat belt, the indicator will come on about 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ON (II) position. If either the driver or a front passenger does not fasten their seat belt while driving, the beeper will sound and the indicator will flash again at regular intervals. You will also see a ''FASTEN SEAT BELT'' or ''FASTEN PASSENGER SEAT BELT'' message on the multiinformation display (see page 87). When no one is sitting in the front passenger's seat, the indicator should not come on and the beeper should not sound. When an infant or small child is riding there, the indicator may not come on and the beeper may not sound. Driver and Passenger Safety CONTINUED 21
