Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation

The driver safety belt buckle switch illuminates a warning indicator in the instrument cluster if the safety belt is not fastened.

An additional safety belt use reminder will provide the driver with an audible and visual reminder of a driver safety belt unfastened condition. The reminder will continue for up to five minutes by producing a chime and illuminating the safety belt unfastened warning indicator in the instrument cluster, when the ignition is in the RUN position. The safety belt use reminder will only commence following the completion of the existing driver safety belt unfastened warning time period. The safety belt use reminder may be stopped within the five minute activation period by fastening the driver safety belt.

The driver may disable the safety belt use reminder feature on each ignition cycle by buckling and unbuckling the driver safety belt. Semi-permanent disable is programmable by the customer following the instructions contained in the Owner Guide.
