Seat Belt Systems

Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and could cause a
collision that includes you. This can happen far
away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives,
and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries
in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat
belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the
risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert)
BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind the
driver and outboard front passenger (if
equipped with outboard front passenger
(Continued) BeltAlert) to buckle their seat belts. The feature
is active whenever the ignition switch is in the
START or ON/RUN position. If the driver or
outboard front seat passenger is unbelted, the
Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn on and re-
main on until both outboard front seat belts are
buckled.
The BeltAlert warning sequence begins after
the vehicle speed is over 5 MPH (8 km/h) by
blinking the Seat Belt Reminder Light and
sounding an intermittent chime. Once the se-
quence starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat belts are
buckled. After the sequence completes, the
Seat Belt Reminder Light remains illuminated
until the respective seat belts are buckled. The
driver should instruct all other occupants to
buckle their seat belts. If an outboard front seat
belt is unbuckled while traveling at speeds
greater than 5 MPH (8 km/h), BeltAlert will
provide both audio and visual notification.
The outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert is
not active when the outboard front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert may be triggered
when an animal or heavy object is on the
outboard front passenger seat or when the seat
is folded flat (if equipped). It is recommended
