Seatbelt reminder
The seatbelt warning symbol in the com-
bined instrument panel and above the rear-
view mirror illuminates until the driver and
front seat passenger buckle their seatbelts.
The seatbelt reminder switches off after
6 seconds if speed is below 10 km/h.
If the driver or front seat passenger have not
buckled their seatbelts, the reminder switch-
es on again when the speed exceeds
10 km/h and switches off if the speed drops
below 5 km/h.
If the seatbelt is released, the function reacti-
vates when speed exceeds 10 km/h.
The seatbelt reminder is intended for an adult
sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fitted child
seat is fitted in the front seat, the seatbelt re-
minder does not switch on. Seatbelts and pregnancy

the thighs and as low as possible under the
abdomen. It must never be allowed to ride
upward. Remove all slack from the belt and

any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of
