WARNING

Do not drive the vehicle with the air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning beep sounding

Until a seat belt is fastened or a given period of time has elapsed, the beep sound will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls below 12 mph (20 km/h).

• To allow the front passenger occupant classification sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger’s seat. The sensor may not function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
