BELTMINDER System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Where fitted, the beltminder system augments the seatbelt reminder. At vehicle speeds above 10 mph (16 km/h), if the seatbelt of the driver seat or an occupied front passenger seat has not been fastened, or if a front or rear seatbelt is unfastened, the beltminder system activates an intermittent warning tone, flashes the seatbelt warning indicator and displays a warning message indicating which seatbelt triggered the warning.

The BCM/GWM controls the operation of the beltminder system with a HS CAN powertrain systems bus message to the IC.

A graphic in the message center shows the status of the seatbelts:

Tick - seatbelt in the indicated position is fastened.
Cross - seatbelt in the indicated position has been unfastened while the vehicle ignition is on. This indicator will turn grey after 30 seconds.
Grey - seatbelt not fastened.

NOTE: The indicators will be displayed for 30 seconds each time there is a status change, e.g., a seat belt is unfastened or fastened or a door is opened and then closed.

Although not advisable, it is possible to disable the beltminder system using Jaguar approved diagnostic equipment.

NOTE: If a heavy object is placed on the front passenger seat, it may trigger a beltminder warning.
