When the ignition is switched on, several warning and indicator lights come on briefly for a function check. They go out after a few seconds.
A warning chime also sounds.
The safety belt warning light comes on for 6 seconds
when the ignition is switched on. A warning chime also sounds for up to 6 seconds
if the driver's safety belt is not buckled. The chime stops sooner if the driver
buckles his or her safety belt. The warning light and the chime also go out when
both driver and front passenger have bucked their safety belts.
If the driver and front seat passenger do not both fasten their safety belts
within about 24 seconds after the chime stops and the vehicle is moving at a speed
of more than about 15 mph (25 km/h), the chime will again sound for about 6 seconds,
then go off for about 24 seconds, then sound again for about another 6 seconds.
The same thing happens if one of the safety belts is fastened and then unfastened
while the vehicle is moving. The safety belt warning light also flashes
. The warning chime continues to sound at 24 second
intervals for up to 2 minutes. No chime sounds at speeds of less than about 5 mph
(8 km/h).
If the ignition is switched on, the safety belt warning light
stays until the driver and front passenger have both
buckled their safety belts.
