Q: What does the seat belt reminder mean?
What does the seat belt reminder mean?
If either front occupant is not wearing their seat belt, the seat belt reminder will alert. The seat belt reminder is a light that will illuminate on your instrument panel, as well as a beep that will sound. Both of these indicators will remain on until the unfastened seat belt is buckled. Tip The seat belt reminder monitors the front passenger seat with a weight sensor, so it will only give you an alert if a person large enough to trigger the sensor is in the seat. If a dog or a heavy object is located in the passenger seat and causing the seat belt reminder to come on, either move the object, or buckle the seat belt over it.
