Seat Belt Systems: Description and Operation

A continuous-loop, single-retractor active restraint system is used on this system.

Safety Belt Warning System
- The safety belt warning indicator lamp and warning chime are controlled by the integrated control module.

- The warning chime is integral to the integrated control module.

- The integrated control module will turn on the safety belt warning indicator lamp and warning chime depending on the status of the ignition switch and safety belt buckle switch.

This warning light and chime remind you to fasten your safety belt. The following conditions will occur:

- If safety belt is not buckled when the key is turned to the ON position, the light comes on for 1 to 2 minutes and the chime sounds for 4 to 8 seconds.

- If safety belt is buckled while the light is on and the chime is sounding, both the light and chime turn off.

- If safety belt is buckled before the ignition is turned ON, neither the light nor chime will turn on.
