Except Mexico
The seat belt warning light turns on if the driver
or front passenger's seat is occupied and the seat
belt is not fastened with the ignition switched
ON.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is un-
fastened (only when the front passenger's seat is
occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed
faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warn-
ing light flashes. After a short time, the warning
light stops flashing, but remains illuminated.
NOTE

The warning light flashes for about 6 seconds
if the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the
ignition is switched ON.

To allow the front passenger occupant classifi-
cation sensor to function properly, do not
place and sit on an additional seat cushion on
the front passenger's seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional seat
cushion could cause sensor interference.

If a small child is seated on the front passeng-
er's seat, the warning light may not operate.
