Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert姞) — If Equipped
BeltAlert威 is a feature intended to remind the driver and
front passenger (if equipped with front passenger
BeltAlert威) to fasten their seatbelts. This feature is active
whenever the ignition is on. If the driver or front seat
passenger is unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will
turn on and remain on until both front seatbelts are
fastened. BeltAlert威 triggers within 60 seconds of vehicle
speed over 5 mph (8 km/h). The reminder sequence lasts
for 96 seconds or until the respective seatbelts are fas-
tened. After the sequence completes, the Seat Belt Re-
minder Light remains illuminated until front belts are
fastened. The driver should instruct all other occupants
to fasten their seatbelts. If a front seatbelt is unbuckled
while traveling at speeds greater than 5 mph (8 km/h),
BeltAlert威 will chime as a single notification and illumi-
nate the Seat Belt Reminder Light, then will proceed to
the 96 second reminder sequence.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert威 is not active when the
front passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert威 may be
triggered when an animal or heavy object is on the front
passenger seat or when the seat is folded flat (if
equipped). It is recommended that pets be restrained in
the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are
secured by seat belts, and cargo is properly stowed.
