and chime

warning device at the drivers seat, as
required by current safety standards.

seatbelt when the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position, the seatbelt warning
light will flash for 6 seconds, to warn that
the seatbelt is unfastened. If the drivers
seatbelt is not fastened, a chime will also
sound simultaneously.
If the drivers seatbelt is still not fastened 6
seconds later, the warning light will remain
lit for 15 seconds. If the drivers seatbelt is
still not fastened even 15 seconds later
(21 seconds after turning ON the ignition
switch), the warning lights will alternate
between flashing and steady illumination
at 15-second intervals, and the chime will
sound while the warning light is flashing.
Alternate flashing and steady illumination

chime will continue until the driver fastens
