Seat Belt Reminder Buzzer: Description and Operation
SAFETY BELT WARNING SYSTEM - DRIVER SAFETY BELT
The driver safety belt incorporates a safety belt warning indicator switch, warning indicator and chime. The warning indicator and chime are
reminders to fasten the safety belt.
-
If the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition key is turned to the ON position, the safety belt warning light illuminates for one to two
minutes and the warning chime sounds for four to eight seconds.
-
If the safety belt is buckled while the warning indicator is on and the chime is sounding, the warning light and warning chime turn off.
-
If the safety belt is buckled before the key is turned to the ON position, the warning indicator will come on for four to eight seconds with no
chime.
BELT MINDER
The Belt Minder feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature provides additional reminders to the driver that the
driver safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster.
The passenger safety belt minder feature is activated only when the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system detects a passenger in the right front
seat and the passenger weight exceeds a programmed set point.
To activate or deactivate the belt minder feature, refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.
