Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert
ா )
If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within
60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed
is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the BeltAlert
௡ will alert
the driver to buckle the seat belt. The driver should also
instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts.
Once the warning is triggered, the BeltAlert
௡ will con-
tinue to chime and flash the Seat Belt Reminder Light for
96 seconds or until the driver’s seat belt is buckled. The
BeltAlert
௡ will be reactivated if the driver’s seat belt is
unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle
speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
BeltAlert

The BeltAlert ௡ can be enabled or disabled by your

3. Within 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the

on while unbuckling the seat belt and turn off while
