faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning
light flashes. After a short time, the warning
light stops flashing, but remains illuminated.

if the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the
ignition is switched ON.

sensor to function properly, do not place

seat, the warning light may not operate.
