Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light
When the engine is started, a
chime sounds for several seconds
to remind a driver to fasten the
safety belt, unless the driver safety
belt is already buckled.
The safety belt light comes on and
stays on for several seconds, then
flashes for several more.
This chime and light are repeated if
the driver remains unbuckled and
the vehicle is in motion. If the driver
safety belt is already buckled,
neither the chime nor the light
comes on.

Reminder Light
Several seconds after the engine is
started, a chime sounds for several
seconds to remind the front
passenger to buckle their safety
belt. This only occurs if the
passenger airbag is enabled.
See Passenger Sensing System on
page 334 for more information. The
passenger safety belt reminder light,
located on the instrument panel,
comes on and stays on for several
seconds and then flashes for
several more.
This chime and light are repeated if
the passenger remains unbuckled
and the vehicle is in motion.
If the passenger safety belt is
buckled, neither the chime nor the
light comes on.
The front passenger safety belt
reminder light and chime may turn
on if an object is put on the seat
such as a briefcase, handbag,
grocery bag, laptop or other
electronic device. To turn off the
reminder light and/or chime, remove
the object from the seat or buckle
the safety belt.
