Belt Minder
The belt minder is a supplemental
warning to the seat belt warning function.
This feature provides additional
reminders to the driver that the driver’s
seat belt is not fastened by intermittently
sounding a beep sound and flashing the
seat belt warning light in the instrument
cluster.
Condition
Result
The driver’s seat belt is
not fastened when the
vehicle speed reaches 8
km/h (5 mph) and about 1
minute has elapsed since
the ignition switch was
turned to the ON position.
The warning light
flashes and the beep
sound will be heard
for about 6 seconds
every 30 seconds,
for a period of about
5 minutes.
The driver’s seat belt is
fastened while the
warning light and the
beep are activated.
The warning light
turns off and the
beep sound stops.
The driver’s seat belt is
fastened before the

to the ON position.
The warning light
will not illuminate

The belt minder can be deactivated
temporarily using the following
methods:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
