Enhanced seat belt reminder system
When the engine is started, the seat belt
telltale < will always illuminate
for 6 seconds to remind you and your
passengers to fasten your seat belts.
If the driver’s seat belt is not fastened
when the engine is started, an additional
warning chime will also sound for a maxi-
mum of 6 seconds or until the driver’ s
seat belt is fastened.
If after these 6 seconds the driver’s or the
front passenger’s seat belt (with the front
passenger seat occupied) is not fastened
with front doors closed,
ț the seat belt telltale < remains
illuminated for as long as either the
driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt is
not fastened.
ț and if the vehicle speed once exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h), the seat belt
telltale < starts flashing and a
warning chime sounds with increasing
intensity for a maximum of 60 seconds
or until the driver’s and the front
passenger’s seat belt are fastened.
If you and/or your passenger release
the seat belt during driving, the seat
belt telltale < starts flashing and a
warning chime sounds as described
before.
If the driver’s or the front passenger’s
seat belt remains unfastened after
60 seconds, the warning chime stops
sounding, the seat belt telltale <
stops flashing but continues to be
illuminated.
After a vehicle standstill the warning
chime is reactivated and the seat belt
telltale < is flashing again if the
vehicle speed once exceeds 15 mph
(25 km/h).
The seat belt telltale < will only go out
if both the driver’s and the front passen-
ger’s seat belt (with the front passenger
seat occupied) are fastened, or the vehicle
is standing still and a front door is opened.
