Safety Belt Reminder

The seat belt indicator is a display in the instrument cluster. The Body Control Module (BCM) uses class 2 serial data communication in order to turn the seat belt indicator on and off. This vehicle has an enhanced seat belt warning system. This system activates a warning lamp for about 75 seconds and an audible warning for about eight seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position and the drivers seat belt is not buckled. The warning lamp will be constant for the first 20 seconds, then flash for the remaining 55 seconds. The audible warning only turns on, and will stay on when the drivers seat belt is not fastened during the eight second time period. If the drivers seat belt is buckled when you turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, the warning lamp will not illuminate and the audible warning stays off. If the drivers seat belt buckle is unbuckled prior to eight seconds, the audible warning will turn on for the balance of the eight second delay.
