Enhanced Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlert
ா
)
If the driver does not buckle their seat belt and vehicle
speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h), or if the passenger does
not buckle their seat belt within 10 seconds of vehicle
speed exceeding 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced Warning
System (Belt Alert) will alert the occupant(s) to buckle
their seat belt(s). Once triggered, the Enhanced Warning
System (Belt Alert) will flash the Seat Belt Reminder light
and chime for up to 96 seconds to alert the occupant(s) to
buckle their seat belt(s). If the driver unbuckles their seat
belt while vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h),
or if the passenger unbuckles their seat belt for more than
10 seconds while vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8
km/h), the Enhanced Warning System (Belt Alert) will
reactivate.
