occupied and the safety belt is
unbuckled.

safety belts are buckled before the

elapsed since the ignition switch has

The system uses information from the
front passenger sensing system to
determine if a front seat passenger is
present and therefore potentially in
need of a warning. To avoid activating
the Belt-Minder feature for objects
placed in the front passenger seat,
warnings will only be given to front
seat occupants as determined by the
front passenger sensing system.
If the Belt-Minder warnings have
expired (warnings for approximately
five minutes) for one occupant (driver
or front passenger), the other
occupant can still activate the
Belt-Minder feature.
The Belt-Minder feature will not
activate.
The Belt-Minder feature is activated -
the safety belt warning light illumin-
ates and the warning chime sounds
for six seconds every 25 seconds,
repeating for approximately five
minutes or until the safety belts are
buckled.
