Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Testing and Inspection
ENHANCED SEATBELT REMINDER PROGRAMMING
The seatbelt indicator also includes a programmable enhanced seatbelt reminder or "beltminder" feature that is enabled when the vehicle is shipped from
the factory. This beltminder feature provides extended and modified visual seatbelt indicator and audible chime warning responses to an unbuckled
driver side front seat belt. The beltminder feature may be disabled or enabled by the customer using the programming sequence that follows, or by the
dealer using a diagnostic scan tool.
CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE
NOTE: The following sequence of events must occur within sixty (60) seconds of the ignition switch being placed in the On position in order for the
programming to be completed successfully.
1. With the ignition switch in any position except On or Start, buckle the driver side front seat belt.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position and wait for the seatbelt indicator reminder function to conclude (about six seconds).
3. Unbuckle and buckle the driver side front seat belt three or more times, ending with the belt buckled.
4. Turn the ignition switch to any position except On or Start to toggle the beltminder feature from its current setting (from active to inactive, or from
inactive to active). A single chime tone will provide an audible confirmation that the programming sequence has been successfully completed.
