Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light
There is a passenger safety belt
reminder light near the passenger
airbag status indicator. SeeAirbag
On-Off Switch 069.
When the vehicle is started this light
flashes and a chime may come on
to remind the front passenger to
fasten their safety belt. Then the
light stays on solid until the belt is
buckled. This cycle may continue
several times if the passenger
remains or becomes unbuckled
while the vehicle is moving.
If the front 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.
Second Row Passenger Belt
Reminder Light
Second row seating positions
monitored for safety belt use are
represented by a colored symbol in
the Driver information Center (DIC)
indicating safety belt status. When
the vehicle is started, three safety
belt symbols come on and stay on
for several seconds in the
instrument cluster to alert the driver
that passengers may need to fasten
their safety belts. After the
passenger safety belt is buckled,
the corresponding safety belt
symbol in the instrument cluster
turns green. If a safety belt is not
initially buckled, the instrument
cluster displays a gray safety belt
symbol. While the vehicle is moving,
if a second row passenger that was
previously buckled becomes
unbuckled, the corresponding safety
belt symbol will change to flashing
red and a chime may sound.
