J Seat belt warning light and chime
HG0340
Your vehicle is equipped with a seat belt warning device at the driver’s
seat.
This device causes the seat belt warning light on the instrument panel to
light up for about six seconds when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
to remind the driver to wear the seat belt. If the driver’s seat belt is not
fastened, a warning chime sounds at the same time.
J Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) function
3-point type seat belts have an emergency locking retractor. This allows
normal body movement but the retractor locks automatically during a
sudden stop, impact or if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retrac-
tor.
J Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) function
When securing a child restraint system on the front passenger’s seat and
on either rear seat, the three-point type seat belt must be changed over
to the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode.
When the child restraint system is removed, make sure that the retractor
operates as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR).
For instruction on how to convert the retractor to the ALR mode and re-
store it to the ELR mode, see the Child Restraint System section in this
chapter.
