Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation

Safety Belt Warning System - Driver Safety Belt
The driver safety belt incorporates a safety belt warning indicator switch, warning indicator and chime. The warning indicator and chime are reminders to fasten the safety belt.
- If the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition key is turned to the ON position, the safety belt warning light illuminates for 1 to 2 minutes and the warning chime sounds for 4 to 8 seconds.
- If the safety belt is buckled while the warning indicator is ON and the chime is sounding, the warning light and warning chime turn OFF.
- If the safety belt is buckled before the key is turned to the ON position, the warning indicator will come on for 4 to 8 seconds with no chime.

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 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 set point.

To activate or deactivate the belt minder feature, refer to Seat Belt Systems.
