Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Reminder System
(BeltAlert
ா)
If the 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 occu-
pants to buckle their seat belts. If the driver unbuckles the
seat belt while the vehicle is in motion an immediate
chime will be heard and the Enhanced Warning System
(BeltAlert
௡) will continue to chime and flash the Seat Belt
Warning Light for 96 seconds or until the driver’s seat
belt is buckled. The Enhanced Warning System
(BeltAlert
௡) will be reactivated if the ignition is cycled,
the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 sec-
onds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph
(8 km/h).
The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert
௡) can be en-
abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by

position except ON or START, buckle the driver’s seat
belt.

for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off.
3. Within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle
and then re-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least three
times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt
