BeltMinder ி
The BeltMinder
௢ feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt
warning function. This feature provides additional reminders by
intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning
lamp in the instrument cluster when the driver’s and front passenger’s
safety belt is unbuckled.
The BeltMinder
௢ feature uses information from the passenger occupant
classification sensor to determine if a front seat passenger is present and
therefore potentially in need of a warning. To avoid activating the
BeltMinder
௢ feature for objects placed in the front passenger seat,
warnings will only be given to large front seat occupants as determined
by the passenger occupant classification sensor.
Both the driver’s and passenger’s safety belt usages are monitored and either
may activate the BeltMinder
௢ feature. The warnings are the same for the
driver and the front passenger. If the BeltMinder
௢ warnings have expired
(warnings for approximately 5 minutes) for one occupant (driver or front
passenger), the other occupant can still activate the BeltMinder
௢ feature.

and the warning chime sounds for 6
seconds every 30 seconds, repeating
for approximately 5 minutes or until
the safety belts are buckled.
The driver’s or front passenger’s
safety belt becomes unbuckled for
approximately 1 minute while the
vehicle is traveling at least 3 mph
(5 km/h) and more than 1-2
minutes have elapsed since the

ON... The BeltMinder
௢ feature is activated -

seconds every 30 seconds, repeating
