During driving the red seat belt
telltale flashes and you addition-
ally hear an intermittent warning
chime sound with increasing in-
tensity. The vehicle’s speed once exceeds 15 mph
(25 km/h) and you and/or your passenger
have forgotten to fasten your seat belts.

Fasten your seat belts.
The seat belt telltale goes out and the
warning chime stops sounding.
There are items placed on the passenger seat
and therefore the system senses the passen-
ger seat as being occupied.

Remove the items from the passenger
seat and put them in a safe place.
The seat belt telltale goes out and the
warning chime stops sounding.

After 60 seconds with an unfastened seat
belt, the warning chime stops sounding and the
seat belt telltale illuminates continuously. The
seat belt telltale will only go out if both, the driver
and passenger’s seat belt are fastened, or the
vehicle is standing still and a door is opened.
