Seat Belt Reminder Buzzer: 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 in the first 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or START position, the indicator will illuminate and the chime will toggle from ON to OFF for 6 seconds, for one minute.
- 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
The Belt Minder feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature provides an additional reminder to the driver that the driver and/or passenger safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster.

The passenger 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 Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.
