Driver's Seat Belt Unbuckled:
There are two different Fasten Seat Belt Reminder announcements incorporated into the MIC's logic, a Non-enhanced announcement and an Enhanced announcement.
When the Enhanced announcement is DISABLED, the Fasten Seat Belt Reminder operates as follows:
- The BCM will request the MIC to chime five times and illuminate the Seat Belt Lamp after turning the ignition to the run/start position if the driver seat belt is unbuckled.
When the Enhanced announcement is ENABLED, the Fasten Seat Belt Reminder operates as follows:
- The BCM will request the MIC to chime continuously at a slow rate for a period of 6 seconds and illuminate the Seat Belt Lamp after turning the ignition to the run/start position if the driver seat belt is unbuckled. After 6 seconds the chime will stop, but the Seat Belt Lamp will stay illuminated. If the ignition is in the run position for a period greater than 70 seconds, and the driver seat belt is unbuckled, and the vehicle's speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h) in a forward gear, the Enhanced Fasten Seat Belt Reminder will activate. This will cause the Seat Belt Lamp to blink and a slow continuous chime to sound for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the chime will stop, but the lamp will remain illuminated for an additional 3 seconds. The Enhanced Seat Belt Reminder cycles for a total of 12 times (96 seconds). After the 12th time, the Seat Belt Lamp will remain on without any chime. Buckling the driver seat belt at anytime will cancel the Fasten Seat Belt Reminder announcement.
