When the key is turned to ON or START, a chime will come on for several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts, unless the driver's safety belt is already buckled.


Object Number: 808234  Size: A1

The safety belt light will also flash until the driver's belt is buckled. If the driver's belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on.

Your vehicle also has a safety belt reminder light for the right front passenger position.


Object Number: 1455960  Size: A2

This light is located on the center of the instrument panel, above the audio system.

When the key is turned to ON or START, this light will come on as a reminder for the right front passenger to fasten their safety belt. This light will flash until the right front passenger's safety belt is buckled. The passenger's safety belt reminder light will not come on if the right front passenger's belt is already buckled or if a sensor does not detect the weight of a passenger in that seat.

If something is placed on the right front passenger seat, the sensors in the seat may detect that object and cause the right front passenger safety belt reminder light to come on. If this happens, remove the object.
