Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light
There is a Driver Safety Belt
Reminder Light on the instrument
panel cluster.
When the engine is started this light
and chime will come on and stay on
for several seconds to remind people
to fasten their safety belts. The light
will also begin to flash.
This cycle repeats if the driver
remains unbuckled and the vehicle
is moving.
If the driver’s belt is already buckled,
neither the light nor chime will
come on.
Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light
If your vehicle has this light, it will
operate the same as the Safety Belt
Reminder Light except that it is
meant for the front passenger.
If the passenger’s safety belt is
buckled, neither the chime nor the
light will come on.
Airbag Readiness Light
This light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. The system check
includes the airbag sensor, the
pretensioners, the airbag modules,
the wiring and the crash sensing
and diagnostic module. For more
information on the airbag system,
see Airbag System on page 1-23.
This light will come on and stay
on for several seconds when you
start your vehicle. Then the light
should go out.
