Safety belt reminder for the driver's and front passenger seat

flashes or lights up
and a signal sounds. Make sure that the
safety belts are positioned correctly.
The safety belt reminder is active at speeds
above approx. 5 mph/8 km/h. It can also be activated
if objects are placed on the front passenger
seat.
