Enhanced seat belt reminder system

When the engine is started, the seat belt

telltale

will always illuminate

for 6 seconds to remind you and your

passengers to fasten your seat belts.

If the driver’s seat belt is not fastened

when the engine is started, an additional

warning chime will also sound for a

maximum of 6

seconds or until the driver’s

seat belt is fastened.

If after these 6 seconds the driver’s or the

front passenger’s seat belt (with the front

passenger seat occupied) is not fastened

with both doors closed,

the seat belt telltale

remains

illuminated for as long as either the

driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt is

not fastened.

and if the vehicle speed once exceeds

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

telltale

starts flashing and a

warning chime sounds with increasing

intensity for a maximum of 60 seconds

or until the driver’s and the

which exceed preset deployment

thresholds and in certain rollovers (win-

dow curtain air bags and ETD).

Never wear the shoulder belt under your

arm, against your neck or off your shoul-

der. In a frontal crash, your body would

move too far forward. That would in-

crease the chance of head and neck in-

juries. The seat belt would also apply too

much force to the ribs or abdomen,

which could severely injure internal or-

gans such as your liver or spleen.

Never wear seat belts over rigid or

breakable objects in or on your clothing,

such as eyeglasses, pens, SmartKeys,

etc., as these might cause injuries.

Position the lap belt as low as possible

on your hips and not across the abdo-

men. If the seat belt is positioned across

your abdomen, it could cause serious in-

juries in a crash.

Never use a seat belt for more than one

person at time. Do not fasten a seat belt

around a person and another person or

other objects.

Seat belts should not be worn twisted.

In a crash, you wouldn’t have the full

width of the seat belt to distribute im-

pact forces. The twisted seat belt

against your body could cause injuries.

Pregnant women should also always 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.
