Seatbelt Warning

NOTE: Whenever the vehicle is operated using MyKey®, the IPC enables the seatbelt reminder.

The seatbelt reminder is configurable on and off for the driver seating position. Refer to SEATBELT SYSTEMS .

The seatbelt reminder feature supplements the current seatbelt warning function and is enabled after the current seatbelt warning is complete by reminding the driver that the driver seatbelt is unbuckled. The seatbelt reminder intermittently sounds a chime and simultaneously illuminates the seatbelt warning indicator in the IPC. The seatbelt reminder begins once the current seatbelt warning has ended and the vehicle speed has exceeded 10 km/h (5 mph) with the driver seatbelt unbuckled. While activated, the seatbelt reminder chime provides a series of 6 chimes/seatbelt warning indicator flash sequences, which consist of a 1 second chime tone and seatbelt warning indicator on/off state.

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

The IPC controls the seatbelt reminder and receives the vehicle speed and driver seatbelt buckle status message from the GWM. The GWM receives the vehicle speed message from the PCM over the HS-CAN1 and the driver seatbelt buckle status message from the RCM over the HS-CAN2.

When MyKey® is in use, the driver cannot configure the seatbelt reminder off. Once the seatbelt reminder is activated, the seatbelt reminder continues to chime periodically (does not time out after 5 minutes) and the audio system is muted (except base AM / FM audio system) until the driver seatbelt is fastened.
