Seatbelt reminder
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-
ten their (p. 23) seatbelt by means of an audio
and visual reminder.
The audio reminder is speed dependent, and
in some cases time dependent. The visual
reminder is located in the roof console and in
the combined instrument panel (p. 58).
Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt
reminder system.
Rear seat
The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two
subfunctions:
•
Provides information on which seatbelts
(p. 22) are being used in the rear seat. A
message appears in the combined instru-
ment panel when the seatbelts are in use,
or if one of the rear doors has been
opened. The message is cleared auto-
matically after driving for approximately
30 seconds or after pressing the indicator
stalk (p. 101) OK button.
•
Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-
belts is unfastened during travel. This
warning takes the form of a message in
the combined instrument panel along with
the audio/visual signal. The warning stops
when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can
also be acknowledged manually by
pressing the OK button.
The message in the combined instrument
panel showing which seatbelts are in use is
always shown. Press the OK button to see
stored messages.
Certain markets
An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remind
the driver and front seat passenger to use a
seatbelt if either of them is not wearing one.
At low speed, the audible reminder will sound
for the first 6 seconds.
