Belt Minder
The belt minder feature is configurable. To configure without using a diagnostic tool, refer to Belt Minder Deactivating/Activating.
The belt minder feature supplements the current safety belt warning function. The belt minder feature is enabled after the current safety belt warning is
complete. The belt minder reminds the driver that their safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt
warning lamp in the instrument cluster once the vehicle speed has exceeded 4.8 km/h (3 mph). While activated, the belt minder alternates the chime
and indicator from ON for 6 seconds to OFF for 30 seconds.
With the Driver Toll Booth feature, during stop/go traffic (such as approaching a toll booth) an intentionally unbuckled driver has reasonable time to
buckle without warning tone, until the vehicle speed has exceeded 4.8 km/h (3 mph) for 1 minute.
