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 continue 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).
NOTE:
