Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation
Safety Belt Warning Indicator and Chime
The warning indicator and chime are reminders to fasten the safety belt. The system operates as follows:
-
If the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or START position, the indicator will illuminate for 1-2
minutes and the chime will sound for 4-8 seconds.
-
If the driver safety belt is buckled while the indicator 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 nor the chime will turn on.
Belt-Minder(R)
The Belt-Minder(R) feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature provides an additional reminder that the
driver's and/or front passenger's safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning indicator in the
instrument cluster.
To activate or deactivate the Belt-Minder(R) feature, refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators or the Owner's Literature.
