Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the ignition is switched on. They will switch off after a few seconds.
A signal tone will be given for a few seconds if the seat belts are not fastened
as the car pulls off and reaches a speed of more than approximately 25 km/h (15
mph), or if the seat belts are unfastened while the vehicle is in motion. The warning
lamp 
will also flash.
When the ignition is switched on, the
warning lamp will not go out until
the driver and front passenger fasten their seat belts.
