Belt Minder

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Belt Minder feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature provides additional reminders to the driver that the safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster.
