Belt-Minder® Feature

NOTE: Whenever the vehicle is operated using MyKey®, the IPC  enables the Belt-Minder®.

The Belt-Minder® is configurable on or off.

Refer to: SAFETY 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 the driver or front passenger safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and simultaneously illuminating the safety belt warning indicator through the front speakers. The Belt-Minder® begins once the current safety belt warning has ended and the vehicle speed has exceeded 10 km/h (6 mph) with the driver or front passenger safety belt unbuckled. While activated, the Belt-Minder® chime provides a series of chimes/safety belt warning indicator flash sequences.

If the vehicle speed drops below 5 km/h (3 mph) once the Belt-Minder® chime has activated, the chime turns off and the safety belt warning indicator remains on. When the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph) again, the Belt-Minder® chime resumes.

When MyKey® is in use, the driver cannot configure the Belt-Minder® off. Once the Belt-Minder® is activated, the Belt-Minder® continues to chime periodically (does not time out after 5 minutes) and the audio system is muted until the driver and passenger safety belts are fastened.

To control the Belt-Minder®, the IPC  receives the vehicle speed, gear lever position, driver and passenger safety belt buckle status and front passenger detect status messages from the GWM  over the High Speed Controller Area Network 3 (HS3-CAN).

The GWM  receives the vehicle speed and gear lever position messages from the PCM  over the High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS1-CAN).

The IPC  receives the driver and passenger safety belt status messages from the RCM  over the High Speed Controller Area Network 2 (HS2-CAN).

When the conditions require the Belt-Minder® chime, the IPC  sends the IPC  chime request message to the ACM  and the audio DSP  to sound the chime.
