Before driving off, always:

  • Fasten your safety belt and make sure you are wearing it properly.
  • Make sure that your passengers also buckle up and properly wear their safety belts.

The warning light in the instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on as a reminder to fasten the safety belts. In addition, you will hear a warning tone for a certain period of time.

Fasten your safety belt now and make sure that your passengers also properly put on their safety belts.
