Seat belt reminder
The seat belt reminder warning symbol is displayed in the
instrument cluster,
accompanied by an audible alert, to indicate
that a front seat occupant either hasn't fastened or has
unfastened their seat belt. This reminder is activated when a
switch detects a weight (mass) in the seat that exceeds a certain
threshold and vehicle’s speed exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h) . The
audible alert will sound up to about 93 seconds.
Never buckle the seat belt behind an occupant or insert any object
into the buckle for the purpose of stopping the reminder light or
sounds. The seat belt reminder is intended to encourage front
seat occupants to wear their seat belts. Never disconnect or
otherwise defeat the seat belt reminder.
The rear seats do not have a seat belt reminder mat. The
detection of occupants on the rear seat is done by monitoring the
change of state of the seat belt buckle. If a buckled seat is
unbuckled during driving the seat belt reminder warning symbol
is displayed in the instrument cluster.
The seat
belt reminder function is designed to recognize an adult-
sized occupant. It may not be activated by a car seat or child.
The driver must always ensure that all occupants are belted
before driving, and that they all remain belted while driving.
Unrestrained and improperly restrained occupants are a hazard to
themselves and to others.
Wearing a seat belt
Keep the webbing properly positioned while wearing the seat belt.
Do not allow it to be relocated by changing your seating position.
Check your occupants periodically to make sure that they have not
gotten out of position.
Do not use devices to reduce tension on either belt or to put slack
in the system (e.g., “window shade” clamps).
Do not use seat belt extenders.
Do not use pads or cushions on the shoulder belt.
Do not add anything to the seat belt.
During a crash
During a crash, the occupant’s body loads the seat belt by pressing
against it after the retractor locks the webbing. This can involve
thousands of pounds of force in about a tenth of a second. The
seat belt cannot help the occupant unless it is being worn. It
cannot function correctly unless it is worn properly.
Seat belts reduce certain risks under certain conditions. They do
not prevent occupant contact with the interior or the exterior in all
circumstances. In near side impacts (against the side of your
Grenadier on which you are sitting), they cannot prevent contact
with the interior at all.
Your Grenadier has pretensioners and load limiters on the front
seat belt assemblies. The Pretensioner pulls webbing onto the
retractor to snag the seat belt in the rst milliseconds of a crash to
