Once the ignition key is turned to "ON" or "START", the reminder light comes on if a passenger sits in the front passenger seat and does not fasten the seat belt. Unless the front passenger fastens the belt, the light stays on. However, if a front passenger uses an additional seat cushion, the light may not flash even when the seat belt is not buckled up. If luggage load is placed on the front passenger seat, depending on its weight and how it is placed on the seat, built −in sensors in the seat cushion may detect the pressure, causing the reminder light to come on.
