2003 Pontiac Vibe Owner's Manual - Page 127

Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle's functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you know when there's a problem with your vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow this manual's advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly -- and even dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights and gages. They're a big help. This light is located on the center of the instrument panel, above the audio system. Safety Belt Reminder Lights When the key is turned to ON or START, 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. The safety belt light will also flash until the driver's belt is buckled. If the driver's belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on. Your vehicle also has a safety belt reminder light for the right front passenger position. When the key is turned to ON or START, this light will come on as a reminder for the right front passenger to fasten the safety belt. The safety belt light will flash until the right front passenger's safety belt is buckled. The passenger's safety belt reminder light will not illuminate if the right front passenger's belt is already buckled or if a sensor does not detect the weight of a passenger in that seat. If something is placed on the right front passenger's seat, the sensors in the seat may detect that object and cause the right front passenger's safety belt reminder light to come on. If this ever happens, move the object to the rear seat or place it in a rear storage area, if at all possible. 2-63
