The Belt-Minder
威
feature uses information from the front passenger
sensing system to determine if a front seat passenger is present and
therefore potentially in need of a warning. To avoid activating the
Belt-Minder
威
feature for objects placed in the front passenger seat,
warnings will only be given to large front seat occupants as determined
by the front passenger sensing system.
Both the driver’s and passenger’s safety belt usages are monitored and
either may activate the Belt-Minder
威
feature. The warnings are the same
for the driver and the front passenger. If the Belt-Minder
威
warnings have
expired (warnings for approximately five minutes) for one occupant
(driver or front passenger), the other occupant can still activate the
Belt-Minder
威
feature.
Note:
If you are using MyKey™, the Belt-Minder
威
warning will not
expire. Refer to
MyKey™
in the
Locks and security
chapter.
