• Don’t tamper with or make modifications to the seat belt that
will prevent it from taking up slack, such as using “comfort
clips.” A slack seat belt could significantly reduce the
effectiveness of the shoulder belt in an accident.
• Take care handling the metal portion of the seat belt as it can
become very hot in sunny weather.
• Inspect, service, and replace all seat belt parts if the vehicle has
been in a serious accident, even if there isn’t any visible damage.
Seat Belt Reminder
• Fasten the seat belts properly when operating the vehicle.
• The Seat Belt Reminder indicator lights up in the instrument cluster panel of
the driver display if the seat belt is unbuckled for a seat with an occupied driver
or passenger.
• The system provides a warning and the Seat Belt Reminder indicator stays on for
one minute if the driver or passenger seat belt remains unbuckled.
