- When the passenger seat belt is buckled with an occupant sitting in the passenger front seat, and the passenger door is closed, then the ignition switch is turned ON, the following events will occur:
- The tone alarm will not operate.
- The reminder lamp, which is located within the PPS status indicator for the passenger seat, will not be turned ON.
- When the driver seat belt is not buckled, the driver door is closed, and the ignition switch is in the ON position, the following events will occur:
- The tone alarm will operate for 4-8 seconds and then go OFF.
- The fasten safety belt indicator will turn ON for 20 seconds, until the driver seat belt is buckled.
- When the passenger seat belt is not buckled with an occupant sitting in the passenger front seat, and the passenger door is closed, then the ignition switch is turned ON, the following events will occur:
