Passenger Safety Belt

Reminder Light

Several seconds after the key is turned to RUN or

START, a chime will sound for several seconds to

remind the front passenger to buckle their safety

belt. This would only occur if the passenger airbag

is enabled. See Passenger Sensing System on

page 75 for more information. The passenger

safety belt light will also come on and stay on for

several seconds, then it will ﬂash for several more.

This chime and light will

be repeated if the

passenger remains

unbuckled and

the vehicle is in motion.

If the passenger’s safety belt is buckled, neither

the chime nor the light will come on.

Airbag Readiness Light

There is an airbag readiness light on the

instrument panel, which shows the airbag symbol.

The system checks the airbag’s electrical

system for malfunctions. The system check

includes the airbag modules, the wiring and the

crash sensing and diagnostic module. For

more information on the airbag system, see Airbag

System on page 66.

This light will come on

when the vehicle is

started, and it will ﬂash

for a few seconds. Then

the light should go out.

This means the system is functioning properly.
