The layout of those warning lights is shown in the illustration. When the seatbelts are not fastened, the warning lights for the seats will illuminate or blink.
WARNING
. The driver must check that all the passengers have fastened their seatbelts properly since the seatbelt warning system may not detect passengers under the following circumstances.
– When cushions or child restraint systems, etc., are used
– When a child or small adult is sitting in the seat
. Observe the following precautions
– Do not apply any strong impact to the rear seat.
– Do not fold the seatback forward when objects are on the seat.
– Do not spill liquid on the rear seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it off immediately.
– Do not remove or disassemble the rear seat.
NOTE
. The seatbelt warning system of the rear seats detects if any of the seats are occupied by a passenger. Heavy cargo or large pets on the rear seats may result in the activation of the passenger seatbelt warning light and chime. Fastening the rear seatbelt prior to loading cargo or large pets will avoid activating the passenger seatbelt warning light and
