Safety Belt Reminders

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the engine is started, a chime comes on for
several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety
belts, unless the driver's safety belt is already buckled.
This chime and light is repeated if the driver remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver's
belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the
light will come on.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for several seconds,
then it will flash for
several more.
Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light
Several seconds after the engine is started, a chime
sounds for several seconds to remind the front
passenger to buckle their safety belt. This would only
occur if the passenger airbag is enabled. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 1-65 for more information.
The passenger safety belt light, located on the
instrument panel, will come on and stay on for
several seconds and then flash for several more.
If the passenger safety belt is buckled, neither the
chime nor the light comes on.
This chime and light are
repeated if the passenger
remains unbuckled and
the vehicle is in motion.
