USA models have a warning system. If the seat is occupied, the weight switch sounds a buzzer unless the belt is fastened. The buzzer is located under the dash to the left of the steering column.

To supplement the buzzer sound, 1972 models also have "Warning" lamp prominently situated on top of the dash.
