Warning Chimes: Belt-Minder®

The Belt-Minder® is configurable. For additional information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION article. To configure without using a scan tool, refer to Belt-Minder® Deactivating/Activating .

The Belt-Minder® feature supplements the current safety belt warning function and is enabled after the current safety belt warning is complete. The Belt-Minder® reminds the driver that the driver or front passenger safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster (IC) once the vehicle speed has exceeded 5 km/h (3 mph), and remains active for 5 minutes from the time it is started. While activated, the Belt-Minder® chime and indicator flash and chime simultaneously from on for 6 seconds to off for 30 seconds, repeating for up to 5 minutes.

NOTE: The Belt-Minder® is disabled for one ignition switch ON cycle if the safety belt is buckled then unbuckled within 20 seconds during that specific cycle.

The Belt-Minder® warning chime inputs are the:

Ignition switch RUN/START status
Safety belt warning request communicated by the RCM to the instrument cluster (IC) through the HS-CAN
