The Front Outboard Safety Belt Usage Sensors monitor whether the driver and right front passenger are buckled up. At higher speeds, airbags need to deploy with greater pressure if passengers haven't buckled their safety belts. You should always wear your safety belt. At lower speeds with safety belts buckled, airbags can deploy with less pressure, helping to reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. Let's follow the system through a crash.
Sensors detect that a possible crash is occurring.
The Front Shoulder Safety Belts are Adjustable to five different height positions for optimum comfort. After the engine is started, the Belt-Minder TM System waits until the existing belt reminder stops sounding. If the driver is still unbelted, the Belt-Minder TM chimes and flashes the safety belt warning light. It flashes and chimes for 6 seconds, pauses for 30 seconds, then repeats. The cycle continues for 5 minutes or until the driver fastens the safety belt.
