The Safety Belt Minder feature supplements the safety belt warning function. The Safety Belt Minder feature is enabled after the current safety belt warning is complete. The Safety Belt Minder reminds the driver that the safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster once the vehicle speed has exceeded 3 mph. While activated, the Safety Belt Minder activates the chime and warning indicator for 6 seconds, with a 30 second interval between activations.
The Safety Belt Minder stops when:
- the driver seat belt is buckled.
- the ignition switch is turned to OFF or ACC.
- minutes have elapsed since the belt minder started.
