SAFETY BELT MINDER
Belt-Minder®
This feature supplements the safety
belt warning function by providing
additional reminders by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the
safety belt warning light when the
driver seat or front passenger seat is
occupied and the safety belt is
unbuckled.
The system 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 feature for objects
placed in the front passenger seat,
warnings will only be given to front
seat occupants as determined by the
front passenger sensing system.
If the Belt-Minder warnings have
expired (warnings for about five
minutes) for one occupant (driver or
front passenger), the other occupant
can still activate the Belt-Minder
feature. Then...

Deactivating and Activating the
Belt-Minder Feature
WARNING
While the system allows you to
deactivate it, this system is
designed to improve your chances of
being safely belted and surviving an
accident. We recommend you leave
the system activated for yourself and
others who may use the vehicle. To
reduce the risk of injury, do not
deactivate or activate the system
while driving the vehicle. Note:
The driver and front passenger
warning are deactivated and activated
independently. When deactivating or
activating one seating position, do not
buckle the other position as this will
terminate the process.
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before
proceeding with the programming
procedure.
Before following the procedure, make
sure that:
• the parking brake is set
• the transmission selector is in
position P or N
• the ignition is off
• the driver and front passenger
safety belts are unbuckled.
1. Turn the ignition on. Do not start the vehicle. 2. Wait until the safety belt warning
light turns off (about one minute).
After Step 2, wait an additional five
seconds before proceeding with
Step 3. Once Step 3 is started, the
procedure must be completed
within 30 seconds.
3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt three times at a
moderate speed, ending in the
unbuckled state. After Step 3, the
safety belt warning light will turn
on.
4. While the safety belt warning light
is on, buckle and then unbuckle the
safety belt. After Step 4, the safety
belt warning light will flash for
confirmation.
• This will disable the feature for
that seating position if it is
currently enabled.
• This will enable the feature for that
seating position if it is currently
disabled.
CHILD RESTRAINT AND
SAFETY BELT
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the vehicle safety belts and
child safety seat systems periodically
to make sure they work properly and
are not damaged. Inspect the vehicle
and child seat safety belts to make
sure there are no nicks, tears or cuts.
Replace if necessary. All vehicle safety
belt assemblies, including retractors,
buckles, front safety belt buckle
assemblies, buckle support

certain crash and occupant
conditions, the driver
’s and
passenger ’s knee airbag may deploy
(individually or both) but the
corresponding front airbag may not
activate. As with front and side
airbags, it is important to be properly
seated and restrained to reduce the
risk of death or serious injury. Make sure the knee airbags
are operating properly. See
Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator
(page 50).
FRONT PASSENGER
SENSING SYSTEM WARNINGS
Even with Advanced Restraints
Systems, children 12 and under
should be properly restrained in a rear
seating position. Failure to follow this
could seriously increase the risk of
injury or death. Sitting improperly out of position
or with the seat back reclined too
far can take off weight from the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the
front passenger sensing system,
resulting in serious injury or death in a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor. Any alteration or modification to
the front passenger seat may
affect the performance of the front
passenger sensing system which
could seriously increase the risk of
injury or death. This system works with sensors that
are part of the front passenger
’s seat
and safety belt to detect the presence
of a properly-seated occupant and
determine if the front passenger ’s
frontal airbag should be enabled (may
inflate) or not. The front passenger sensing system
uses a passenger airbag status
indicator that will illuminate indicating
that the front passenger frontal airbag
is either ON (enabled) or OFF
(disabled).
The indicator lamp is located in the
center stack of the instrument panel.
Note:
The passenger airbag status
indicator OFF and ON indicator lamps
will illuminate for a short period of time
when the ignition is first turned on to
confirm it is functional.
The front passenger sensing system
is designed to disable (will not inflate)
the front passenger's frontal airbag
when the front passenger seat is
unoccupied, or a rear facing infant
seat, a forward-facing child restraint,
or a booster seat is detected. Even
with this technology, parents are

The design and development of the
side curtain airbags included
recommended testing procedures
that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as
the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing
procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of
side curtain airbags.
CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING
Modifying or adding equipment
to the front end of the vehicle
(including frame, bumper, front end
body structure and tow hooks) may
affect the performance of the airbag
system, increasing the risk of injury.
Do not modify the front end of the
vehicle. Your vehicle has a collection of crash
and occupant sensors which provide
information to the restraints control
module. The restraints control module
deploys (activates) the front safety
belt pretensioners, driver airbag,
passenger airbag, knee airbag(s), seat
mounted side airbags, side curtain
airbags and optional rear inflatable
safety belts. Based on the type of
crash (frontal impact or side impact),
the restraints control module will
deploy the appropriate safety devices. The restraints control module also
monitors the readiness of the above
safety devices plus the crash and
occupant sensors. The readiness of
the safety system is indicated by a
warning indicator light in the
instrument cluster or by a backup tone
if the warning light is not working.
Routine maintenance of the airbag is
not required.
A difficulty with the system is
indicated by one or more of the
following:
The readiness light will not
illuminate immediately after
the ignition is turned on.
• The readiness light will either flash
or stay lit.
• A series of five beeps will be heard.
The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem, the
light or both are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced at an
authorized dealer immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function
properly in the event of a crash.
The safety belt pretensioners and the
front airbag supplemental restraint
system are designed to activate when
the vehicle sustains frontal
deceleration sufficient to cause the
restraints control module to deploy a
safety device.

the vehicle will run for 5, 10, or 15
minutes, depending on the setting.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle
still running to extend the run time for
another remote start duration. If you
programmed the duration to last 10
minutes, the second 10 minutes will
begin after what is left of the first
activation time. For example, if the
vehicle had been running from the first
remote start for five minutes, the
vehicle will continue to run now for a
total of 15 minutes. You can extend
the remote start up to a maximum of
35 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before
remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown. Turning the Vehicle Off After
Remote Starting Press the button once. The
parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to
the vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise
of the running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote
start system through the information
display. See
General Information
(page 103).
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys
with restricted driving modes to
promote good driving habits. All but
one of the keys programmed to the
vehicle can be activated with these
restricted modes.
Any keys that have not been
programmed are referred to as
administrator keys or admin keys.
These can be used to:
•
create a MyKey
• program configurable MyKey
settings
• clear all MyKey features.
When you have programmed a MyKey,
you can access the following
information using the information
display:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys
are programmed to your vehicle.
• The total distance your vehicle has
traveled using a MyKey.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to
the same settings. You cannot program
them individually.
Note: For vehicles with intelligent
access with push-button start, when
both a MyKey and an admin intelligent
access key fob are present, the admin
fob will be recognized by the vehicle
while switching the ignition on to start
the vehicle.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be
changed by an admin key user: •
Belt-Minder. You cannot disable
this feature. The audio system will
mute when the front seat
occupants’ safety belts are not
fastened.
• Early low fuel. The low-fuel
warning activates earlier, giving the
MyKey user more time to refuel.
• Driver assist features, if equipped
on your vehicle, are forced on:
parking aid, blind spot information
system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert, lane departure warning and
forward collision warning system.
Configurable Settings
With an admin key, you can configure
certain MyKey settings when you first
create a MyKey and before you recycle
the key or restart the vehicle. You can
also change the settings afterward
with an admin key.
• A vehicle speed limit can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the
display followed by an audible
tone when your vehicle reaches the
set speed. You cannot override the
set speed by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal or by setting
cruise control.
• Vehicle speed minders of 45, 55 or
65 mph (75, 90 or 105 km/h).
Once you select a speed, it will be
shown in the display, followed by
an audible tone when the
preselected vehicle speed is
exceeded.
