Belt Minder
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The belt minder feature is configurable. To configure using the diagnostic tool, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION
. To configure without using the diagnostic tool, refer to SAFETY BELT MINDER DEACTIVATING/ACTIVATING .
The belt minder feature supplements the current safety belt warning function. The belt minder feature is enabled after the current safety belt warning is complete. If the driver safety belt is not buckled approximately 5 seconds after the safety belt warning light has turned off, the belt minder reminds the driver that their safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster. While activated, the belt minder alternates the chime and indicator from on for 6 seconds to off for 30 seconds.
The belt minder reminder stops when:
- The driver safety belt is buckled.
- The ignition switch is turned to the OFF or ACC position.
- 5 minutes have elapsed since the belt minder has started.
