SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
AND CHIME
The driver and front passenger seat is
equipped with an enhanced seat belt re-
minder function. If your vehicle is equipped
with an enhanced seat belt reminder func-
tion, a visual and audible alert will operate if a
driver or front passenger seat belt is unbuck-
led at speeds of approximately 9 mph (15
km/h) or more under the following condi-
tions:
• If the driver seat belt is not fastened.
• The front passenger’s seat belt is not fas-
tened and the seat is occupied by a passen-
ger for 7 seconds after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
• The front passenger’s seat belt is not fas-
tened and objects or external force on the
passenger seat change the seat belt re-
minder classification to Occupied.
The seat belt warning light will flash under
the conditions shown above until the neces-
sary seat belt is securely fastened.
A warning chime will sound for approxi-
mately 90 seconds or until one of the follow-
ing conditions is met:
• The unbuckled front occupant’s seat belt is
securely fastened.
• The seat belt reminder function in the front
passenger seat no longer detects that the
front passenger seat is occupied.
• The ignition is turned off or the vehicle is
parked.
The below situations could result in the seat
belt reminder light being illuminated and the
chime sounding, even with no occupant pres-
ent in the passenger seat:
• Heavy objects placed on the seat.
• Someone pushing or pulling on the front
passenger seat.
• An object placed under the front passenger
seat.
• An object placed between the seat cushion
and center console or between the seat
cushion and the door.
• An object hanging on the seat or placed in
the seatback pocket.
• A child restraint or other object pressing
against the rear of the seatback.
NOTE:
The rear seats are equipped with a seat belt
reminder in the vehicle information display.
The rear seat belt icons will illuminate in red
when not fastened. When a rear passenger's
seat belt has been securely fastened, the
color of the corresponding seat belt icon will
change.
For additional information, see “Vehicle in-
formation display” (P. 2-19).

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WITH RETRACTOR
WARNING
•
Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
Children should be in the rear seats and in
an appropriate restraint.
•
Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive neck or other
serious injuries. You could also slide un-
der the lap belt and receive serious inter-
nal injuries.
•
For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back and up-
right in the seat with both feet on the
floor and adjust the seat belt properly.
•
Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat
belt becomes wrapped around a child’s
neck with the ALR mode activated, the
child can be seriously injured or killed if
the seat belt retracts and becomes tight.
This can occur even if the vehicle is
parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to release
the child. If the seat belt cannot be un-
buckled or is already unbuckled, release
the child by cutting the seat belt with a
suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors)
to release the seat belt.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat. For additional informa-
tion, see “Front Power Seat Adjustment”
(P. 1-3).
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retrac-
tor and insert the tongue into the buckle
O
A
until you hear and feel the latch
engage.
•
The retractor is designed to lock during
a sudden stop or on impact. A slow pull-
ing motion permits the seat belt to
move and allows you some freedom of
movement in the seat.
•
If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its
fully retracted position, firmly pull the
belt and release it. Then smoothly pull
the belt out of the retractor.
