Occupant safety

Enhanced seat belt reminder system

When the engine is started the seat belt

telltale

illuminates for a maximum of

six seconds and a warning chime sounds

to remind you and your passengers to fas-

ten your seat belts.

If after these six seconds, the driver’s or

the front passenger’s seat belt (with the

front passenger seat occupied) are not fas-

tened with all doors closed,

and the vehicle speed does not exceed

15 mph (25 km/h), the seat belt tell-

tale

remains illuminated for as

long as either the driver’s or front pas-

senger’s seat belt is not fastened.

and the vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph

(25 km/h), the seat belt telltale

starts flashing and a warning chime

sounds with increasing intensity until

both the driver’s and front passenger’s

seat belt are fastened, or for a maxi-

mum of 60 seconds from the time the

vehicle speed exceeded 15 mph

(25 km/h) if either the driver’s or front

passenger’s seat belt remains unfas-

tened.

If the driver’s or front passenger’s seat

belt remains unfastened after 60 sec-

onds, the seat belt telltale

stops

flashing and the warning chime stops

sounding. The seat belt telltale

then continues to be illuminated for as

long as either the driver’s or front pas-

senger’s seat belt are not fastened.

The seat belt telltale

will only go out

if both the driver and front passenger’s

seat belt (with the front passenger seat oc-

cupied) are fastened, or the vehicle is

standing still and a front door is opened.

For more information on the seat belt

telltale

, see “Practical hints”

(

page 379).

Belts should not be worn twisted. In a

crash, you wouldn’t have the full width

of the belt to distribute impact forces.

The twisted belt against your body could

cause injuries.

Pregnant women should also use a

lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt portion

should be positioned as low as possible

on the hips to avoid any possible pres-

sure on the abdomen.

Never place your feet on the instrument

panel, dashboard, or on the seat. Always

keep both feet on the floor in front of the

seat.

When using a seat belt to secure infant

or toddler restraints or children in

booster seats, always follow the child

seat manufacturer’s instructions.
