Dodge 25360 Stratus Coupe Automobile User Manual


 
Seat belt reminder/warning light
A chime and warning light are used to
remind the driver to fasten the seat belt.
When the ignition key is turned to the
‘‘ON’’ position, the warning light will illu-
minate and a chime will sound for about 6
seconds. If the driver’s seat belt remains unfastened
approximately 1 minute later, the warning light will flash
and the chime sound intermittently (each 12 times) when
the vehicle is driven. If the driver subsequently unfastens
the seat belt while driving, the warning light and chime
will issue further warnings. And if the seat belt remains
unfastened, the warning light and chime will issue
further warnings each time the vehicle starts moving.
When the seat belt is fastened, the warnings will stop.
Changing the setting for warning operation
It is possible to disable the warning function so that
warnings are not issued after the start of driving. (The
function is initially enabled at the factory.)
1. Fasten the driver’s seat belt.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ‘‘ON’’ position.
3. With the seat belt still fastened, confirm that the
warning light goes off.
4. Within 1 minute of seeing the warning light go off,
remove the plate from the buckle and re-insert it 3 times.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the ‘‘LOCK’’ or ‘‘ACC’’
position. The buzzer (with a short tone) will sound once
to indicate that the setting change is complete.
NOTE
If the driver’s door is open at this time, the buzzer
(with long intermittent tones) will sound continously
but the setting change will not be completed. To
complete the setting change, remove the key or close
the driver’s door. The buzzer (with a short tone) will
sound once to indicate that the setting change is
complete.
If you wish to change the setting again, perform the
same procedure again.
If you do not understand how to change the setting,
consult an authorized dealer.
