Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder Light
There is a driver safety belt reminder light on the instrument panel cluster.
When the engine is started this light begins to flash and a chime comes on for several seconds to remind the driver to fasten their safety belt.
The light also stays on if the driver remains unbuckled.
This cycle repeats if the driver is unbuckled while the vehicle is moving.
If the driver safety belt is already buckled, neither the light nor the chime comes on.
