Seat Belt Warning Light

Driver's seat

Front passenger's seat

Except Mexico

The seat belt warning light turns on if the driver or front passenger's seat is occupied and the seat belt is not fastened with the ignition switched ON.

If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger's seat is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning light flashes. After a short time, the warning light stops flashing, but remains illuminated.

 


  • The warning light flashes for about 6 seconds if the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON.

  • To allow the front passenger occupant classification sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger's seat. The sensor may not function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.

  • If a small child is seated on the front passenger's seat, the warning light may not operate.
