(maximum six seconds of continuous chime). It stops
after the end of the six second period or when the driver
seatbelts becomes fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence begins after the vehicle
speed is over than 6 mph (10 km/h) for more than five
seconds or 12 mph (20 km/h), by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an intermittent chime.
Once the sequence starts, it will continue for the entire
duration (maximum 90 seconds) or until the respective
seatbelts are fastened. After the sequence completes, the
Seat Belt Reminder Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The driver should
instruct all other occupants to fasten their seat belts. If a
front seat belt is unbuckled while traveling at speeds
greater than 6 mph (10 km/h) for more than five seconds
or 12 mph (20 km/h), BeltAlert® will provide both audio
and visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is not active when
both the front passenger seats are unoccupied. BeltAlert®
may be triggered when an animal or heavy object is on
one or both of the front passenger seats. It is recom-
mended that pets be restrained in pet harnesses or pet
carriers that are secured by seat belts, and cargo is
properly stowed.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
We recommend that pregnant women use seat belts
throughout their pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe is
the best way to keep the baby safe.
Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt
across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the
abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take
the force if there is a collision.
