Belt warning for the driver and front passenger
Regardless of whether the driver and front
passenger have fastened their seat belts
already, the seat belt warning lamp
lights up for 6 seconds after every engine
start. It then goes out if the driver and the
front passenger have fastened their seat
belts.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened after the engine is started, an additional warning tone will sound. The warning tone goes out after approximately six seconds or once the driver's seat belt is fastened.
If the driver or front passenger have not
fastened their seat belt after 6 seconds and
the doors are closed, the seat belt
warning lamp lights up.
• until the driver or the front passenger have
fastened their seat belts
• if a vehicle speed of 15 mph(25 km/h) is
exceeded once, a warning tone with
increasing intensity sounds additionally for
a maximum of 60 seconds or until the driver
or front passenger have fastened their seat
belts.
If the driver or front passenger undo their seat
belts during the journey, the seat
belt
warning lamp lights up and the warning tone
sounds again.
The warning tone ceases even if the driver or
front passenger have still not fastened their
seat belt after 60 seconds. The
seat belt
warning lamp stops flashing but continues to
be lit.
Once the vehicle is stationary, the warning
tone is reactivated and the seat
belt
warning lamp starts to flash again if the
vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph(25 km/h)
once.
The seat belt warning lamp only
goes out if:
Rboth the driver and the front passenger have fastened their seat belts.
or
Rthe vehicle is stationary and a door is open.

belt warning lamp, see "Warning and
