Instrument Cluster Chime Function

The Instrument Cluster generates audible tones through its chime function in order to notify the driver of specific vehicle conditions. The following are conditions that will trigger the chime function to operate:

  1. Turn signal indicator 

    Activating the turn signal switch is indicated audibly by the turn signal indicator ticking. The driver's attention is brought to a problem in the turn signal system by the turn signal indicator ticking at a higher frequency. The turn signal indicator ticking is generated electromagnetically. The frequency corresponds to that of the turn signal indicator lamp.

  2. Parking Brake-on reminder 

    The chime is activated whenever the cluster detects the parking brake is applied at a speed of 5 km/h (3 MPH) or more.

  3. Headlamps-on reminder 

    The chime is activated whenever the cluster detects that the headlamp switch is in the ON position with the ignition key removed from the ignition, and the driver's door is open.

  4. Key-in-ignition reminder 

    The chime is activated whenever the cluster detects that the key is in the ignition and the driver's door is open.

NOTE: With the key removed and the door open, the chime sounds if the headlamps or parking lamps are on. The operation of the standing lamps, which are intended for use when the vehicle is unoccupied, will not trigger this warning.
