An audio signal and indicator lamp remind
anyone not wearing a seatbelt to use one.
The audio reminder is speed-dependent. Re-
minder indicator lamps are located in the roof

Rear seat
The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has
two subfunctions:
• Provides information on which seatbelts
are being used in the rear seat. This is

message is automatically cleared after
approx.

button.
• Provides a warning if one of the rear
seatbelts is unfastened during a journey.
This warning takes the form of a message
on the information display along with the
audio/visual signal. The warning ceases
when the belt is re-fastened or can be
acknowledged manually by pressing the
READ button.
The message on the information display
showing which belts are in use is always
available. Press the READ button to see
