Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation

Warning System - Driver Safety Belt
The driver safety belt incorporates a safety belt warning indicator switch, an indicator light and warning chime. The indicator light and warning chime function as reminders to fasten the safety belt.

Safety Belt Indicator Light and Warning Chime
The safety belt indicator 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 indicator light illuminates for 1-2 minutes and the warning chime sounds for 4-8 seconds.
^ If the driver safety belt is buckled while the indicator light is illuminated and the warning chime is sounding, the safety belt indicator light and the warning chime turn off.
^ If the driver safety belt is buckled before the ignition key is turned to the ON position, the safety belt indicator light and warning 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 that the driver's safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster.
