Belt warning for driver and front
passenger
The
7

ment cluster reminds you that all occupants
should fasten their seat belts. It is either lit
continuously or flashes. Additionally, there
may be a warning tone.

already have their seat belt fastened, the
7
seat belt warning lamp lights up for six
seconds after the engine has been started. It
