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.

When the Belt-Minder

௡ feature is activated, the safety belt warning light

illuminates and the warning chime sounds for 6 seconds every
30 seconds, repeating for approximately 5 minutes or until the safety
belts are buckled.

Note: If you are using MyKey™, the Belt-Minder

௡ warning will not

expire. Refer to MyKey™ in the Locks and security chapter.

The Belt-Minder

௡ feature uses two different warning chimes. During the

first minute of activation, the warning chime will sound once every
second. The remaining warning chimes will sound twice every second
while the system is activated.
