Electrical system
The front passenger seat belt and airbag status telltale lights located in the overhead console may be set to 'night mode' when the vehicle is started using remote start or after being turned off and restarted without opening the door, making them not visible in daytime and failing to comply with FMVSS 101 and 208. This may prevent the driver and front passenger from knowing if the front passenger is unbuckled or has a deactivated airbag, increasing injury risk in a crash.
