  • reminder when the driver or a passenger is not using their seat belt while driving
  • reminder when a seat belt is removed while driving
  • information on which seat belts are being used or not used.

 Note

If the seat belt reminder is activated by a child seat on an outboard rear seat that is not secured with a seat belt, the reminder can be acknowledged or the belt can be fastened.
For the center rear seat position, the following is provided:
  • reminder when the seat belt is removed while driving
  • information about whether the seat belt is being used or not.
