Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation

WARNING SYSTEM - DRIVER SAFETY BELT

The driver safety belt incorporates a safety belt warning indicator switch, a warning light and warning chime. The warning light and warning chime function as reminders to fasten the safety belt.

Safety Belt Warning Light and Warning Chime
The safety belt warning light illuminates in the instrument cluster and a warning chime sounds to remind the occupants to fasten their safety belts. The conditions of operation are as follows:
- If the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition key is turned to the ON position, the safety belt warning light illuminates and the warning chime sounds for 4-8 seconds.
- If the driver safety belt is buckled while the warning light is illuminated and the warning chime is sounding, the safety belt warning light and warning chime turn off.
- If the driver safety belt is buckled before the ignition key is turned to the ON position, the warning chime will remain off and the safety belt warning light will illuminate for 4-8 seconds.

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.

To activate or deactivate the Belt Minder feature, refer to Seat Belt Systems or the owner's literature.
