The front seat belt system includes the following components:

^ The driver and passenger seat retractor side belts, which are attached to the rocker panel.

The driver's seat belt system includes a seat belt switch in the driver seat buckle side belt which controls a reminder lamp and a tone alarm. When the driver's seat belt is buckled, the driver's door is closed, and
the ignition switch is turned ON, the following events will occur:

^ The tone alarm will not operate.
^ The reminder lamp will not operate. When the driver's seat belt is not buckled, the driver's door is closed, and the ignition switch is turned ON, the following events will occur:
^ The tone alarm will operate for 4 to 8 seconds and then go OFF.
^ The reminder lamp will operate for 20 seconds, then the reminder lamp will flash for an additional 55 seconds before going OFF.
