Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert)
Front Seat and Second Row BeltAlert
(If Equipped)
BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind
the driver and outboard front seat passenger
to buckle their seat belts. The Belt Alert
feature is active whenever the ignition switch
is in the START or ON/RUN position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition
switch is first in the START or ON/RUN posi-
tion, a chime will signal for a few seconds. If
the driver or outboard front seat passenger is
unbuckled when the ignition switch is first in
the START or ON/RUN position, the respec-
tive Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn solid
red and remain red until the seat belt is
buckled. The respective Seat Belt Reminder
Light will turn solid green once the seat belt
is buckled. After the driver and outboard
front seat passenger have buckled their seat
belts all Seat Belt Reminder Lights will turn
off. The outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert is not active when the outboard
front passenger seat is unoccupied.
BeltAlert Warning Sequence
The BeltAlert warning sequence is activated
when the vehicle is moving above a specified
vehicle speed range and the driver or out-
board front seat passenger is unbuckled (the
outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert is not
active when the outboard front passenger
seat is unoccupied). The BeltAlert warning
sequence starts by blinking the respective
Seat Belt Reminder Light and sounding an
intermittent chime. Once the BeltAlert warn-
ing sequence has completed, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will remain solid red until the
driver and outboard front seat passenger are
buckled. The BeltAlert warning sequence
may repeat based on vehicle speed until the
driver and occupied outboard front seat pas-
senger seat belts are buckled. The driver
should instruct all occupants to buckle their
seat belts.
Change of Status
If the driver or outboard front seat passenger
unbuckles their seat belt while the vehicle is
traveling, the BeltAlert warning sequence will
begin until the seat belts are buckled again.
The outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert
is not active when the outboard front passen-
ger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert may be
triggered when an animal or other items are
placed on the outboard front passenger seat
or when the seat is folded flat (if equipped). It
is recommended that pets be restrained in
the rear seat (if equipped) in pet harnesses or
pet carriers that are secured by seat belts,
and cargo is properly stowed.
Rear Seat BeltAlert (If Equipped)
Rear Seat BeltAlert shows the driver whether
the seat belts in the rear seat are buckled or
unbuckled (if equipped with Rear Seat
BeltAlert). When the ignition switch is in the
START or ON/RUN position, a Seat Belt Re-
minder Light
located in the upper right
corner of the instrument cluster turns on for
each second row seat position (if equipped
