Seat Belt Reminder Buzzer: Description and Operation
Belt-Minder
BELT-MINDER(R)
The Belt-Minder(R) feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature provides additional reminders by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning indicator, in the instrument cluster, when the driver and front passenger safety belt is
unbuckled.
The Belt-Minder(R) feature uses information from the front passenger sensing system to determine if a front seat passenger is present and therefore
potentially in need of a warning. To avoid activating the Belt-Minder(R) feature for objects placed in the front passenger seat, warnings will only be
given to front seat occupants over a certain weight, as determined by the front passenger sensing system.
Both the driver and passenger safety belt usages are monitored and either may activate the Belt-Minder(R) feature. The warnings are the same for the
driver and the front passenger. If the Belt-Minder(R) warnings have expired (warnings for approximately 5 minutes) for one occupant (driver or front
passenger), the other occupant can still activate the Belt-Minder(R) feature.
When the Belt-Minder(R) feature is activated, the safety belt warning indicator illuminates and the warning chime sounds for 6 seconds every 30
seconds, repeating for approximately 5 minutes or until the safety belts are buckled.
The Belt-Minder(R) feature uses 2 different warning chimes. During the first minute of activation, the warning chime will sound once every second.
The remaining warning chimes will sound twice every second while the system is activated.
To activate or deactivate the Belt-Minder(R) feature, refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators or the Owner's Literature.
