reminder light in the instrument cluster and
the front passenger’s seat belt reminder
light in the center of the instrument panel
will come on and a buzzer will sound as a
reminder to the driver and front passenger
to buckle their seat belts.
The seat belt reminder functions as shown
in the figure below. There are some differ-
ences between the driver’s seat belt
reminder and the front passenger’s seat
belt reminder. For more details, refer to the
explanation below.
WARNING
It is absolutely essential that the
driver and passengers wear their seat

not wearing seat belts have a much
greater risk of injury if an accident
occurs. Make a regular habit of buck-
ling your seat belt before putting the
key in the ignition.
