Seat Belt Reminder Buzzer: Description and Operation
Safety Belt Warning System
The safety belt warning indicator illuminates and a chime sounds to remind the occupants to fasten their safety belts.
The conditions of operation for the safety belt warning indicator and chime are as follows:
-
If the driver or front passenger seat (if occupied) safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to RUN, the safety belt warning
indicator illuminates for 1-2 minutes and the warning chime sounds for 4-8 seconds.
-
If the driver or front passenger seat (if occupied) safety belt is buckled while the warning indicator is illuminated and the reminder chime is
sounding, then the safety belt warning indicator and reminder chime turn off.
-
If the driver or front passenger (if occupied) safety belt is buckled before the ignition switch is turned to RUN, the safety belt warning indicator
and reminder chime remain off.
Belt Minder
The Belt Minder feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature provides additional reminders to the driver or
passenger that the 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 limit.
To activate or deactivate the Belt Minder feature, refer to Seat Belt Systems.
