Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation

SAFETY BELT WARNING
When the ignition switch is turned to RUN or START, power is supplied through Circuit 640 (R/Y) to the safety belt warning chime.
1. The safety belt warning chime then supplies power through Circuit 450 (DG/LG) to illuminate the safety belt warning indicator lamp for six seconds, whether or not the driver's safety belt is fastened.
2. If the driver's safety belt is not fastened during this time, the safety belt buckle switch remains closed, supplying ground through Circuit 85 (BR/LB) to the safety belt warning chime and causing it to sound for six seconds.
