Dome light reminder.

A seat belt reminder light illuminates in the ceiling console and a warning symbol is displayed in the instrument panel.

The audible reminder varies depending on the vehicle's speed, driving time and distance driven.

A seat belt status graphic in the instrument panel indicates when the driver's or a passenger's seat belt is buckled or unbuckled. Child seats are not included in the seat belt reminder system.

Front Seats

An audible signal and an indicator light remind unbuckled occupants to fasten their seat belts.

Rear Seat

The rear seat belt reminder has two functions:

  • To indicate which seat belts are fastened in the rear seat. This will also be displayed in an instrument panel graphic.
  • To provide audio and visual reminders if any seat belt in the rear seat is removed while the vehicle is in motion. The reminder will stop when the seat belt has been rebuckled.

Door/Hood/Tailgate Reminder and Fuel Filler Cap Reminder

If the hood, tailgate, fuel filler door or any door is not properly closed, this will be indicated by a graphic in the instrument panel. Stop the vehicle safely and close the open door, hood, etc.
