Safety Belt Warning Indicator and Chime
The warning indicator lamp and chime remind the occupant to fasten the safety belt. The following conditions will take place:

If the safety belt is not buckled before the ignition is turned to the ON position, the chime will turn on for four to eight seconds and the indicator
lamp will illuminate for one to two minutes.
^
If the safety belt is buckled while the indicator lamp is on and the chime is sounding, both the indicator and chime will turn off.
^
If the safety belt is buckled before the ignition is turned to the ON position, neither the indicator lamp nor the chime will be active.
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's safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster.
