Enhanced Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlert
ா
)
If the occupied driver’s seat belt has not been buckled
within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle
speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced
Warning System (BeltAlert
௡) will alert the driver to
buckle their seat belt. The driver should also instruct all
other occupants to buckle their seat belts. Once the
warning is triggered, BeltAlert
௡ will continue to chime
and flash the Seat Belt Warning Light for 96 seconds or
until the driver’s seat belt is buckled.
BeltAlert
௡ will be reactivated if the driver’s seat belt is
unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle
speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
