Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlertŸ)
If the driver 's seat belt has not been buckled within 60
seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced Warning
System (BeltAlertŸ) will alert the driver to buckle their
seat belt. The driver should also instruct all other occu-
pants to buckle their seat belts. Once the warning is
triggered, the Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlertŸ)
will continue to chime and flash the Seat Belt Warning
Light for 96 seconds or until the driver 's seat belt is
buckled.The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlertŸ) will be
reactivated if the driver 's seat belt is unbuckled for more
than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5
mph (8 km/h).
The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlertŸ) can be en-
abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by
following these steps:
NOTE:
The following steps must occur within the first 60
seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON
or START position. The manufacturer does not recom-
mend deactivating the Enhanced Warning System
(BeltAlertŸ).
·Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and
buckle the driver 's seat belt.
·Turn the ignition key to the ACCESSORY/RUN
position (engine does not need to be running), and
wait for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off.

and then re-buckle the driver 's seat belt at least three
times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt
buckled.

completed the programming.
The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlertŸ) can be reac-
tivated by repeating this procedure.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF SEAT
BELTS
The seat belt webbing may be cleaned with mild soap or
detergent solution. Allow the belts to dry in the shade.
Do not allow them to retract until completely dry. Do not
attempt to bleach or re-dye belts. The color may rub off
and webbing strength could be affected.
Regularly check seat belt buckles and release mecha-
nisms for positive action and the retractors when in the
automatic locking retractor mode for positive engage-
ment. Refer to ªInstalling a child restraint system to a
UNIBELTº on page 82.
Check that the anchor mounting bolts are tight. If the seat
belt webbing shows obvious cuts, tears, protruding bro-
ken fibers that cause a local increase in webbing thick-
ness, or severe fading which indicates weakening by
exposure to sunlight, the entire seat belt assembly should
be replaced.The lap belt portion of the front UNIBELT has a sleeve
inside which the belt is folded back over itself in a loop.
This allows the belt to help absorb the energy of a
collision through a controlled release of the loop. In the
event that the loop inside the sleeve has come loose,
replace the entire seat belt assembly.
