An audible signal will be emitted for some seconds if the seat belts are not fastened as the car pulls off and reaches a speed of more than 25 km/h (15 mph) or if the seat belts are unfastened while the vehicle is in motion. The seat belt warning lamp will also flash .

The seat belt warning lamp does not go out until the driver and front passenger fasten their seat belts while the ignition is switched on.
