Warning display type 2
A tone and warning light are used to remind
the driver to fasten the seat belt.
If the ignition switch is set to the “ON” posi-
tion without the driver’s seat belt being fas-
tened, a warning light will come on and a
tone will sound for approximately 6 seconds
to remind you to fasten your seat belt.
If you then drive with the seat belt unfastened
for longer than a minute from when the igni-
tion switch was turned on, the warning light
will come on and blink repeatedly and the
tone will sound intermittently.
The warning light and the tone will stop after
approximately 90 seconds.

vehicle with the seat belt unfastened, the
warning light/display and tone will remind

NOTE
 With the exception of the seat belt for the
driver, the seat belts in all other seating posi-
tions are equipped with an Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull the
seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retrac-
tor will switch to its ALR child restraint
installation function (see page 4-19).
When the ALR function has been activated,
the seat belt will only retract. If this happens,
let the belt fully retract, then pull the seat
belt back out, repeating steps 1 through 4.
WARNING
 Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and
is worn as low as possible across the hips,
not around the waist. Failure to follow this
instruction will increase the risk of serious
injury or death in the event of an accident.
 Be sure the seat belt webbing is not
twisted when worn. Twisted webbing may
adversely affect seat belt performance.
