WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The safety belt minder feature supplements the current safety belt warning function. The safety 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 indicator has turned off, the safety belt minder reminds the driver that his/her safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster. While activated, the safety belt minder alternates the chime and indicator from on for 6 seconds to off for 30 seconds.
The belt minder reminder stops if any of the following conditions is met:
- The driver safety belt is buckled
- The ignition lock cylinder is turned to the OFF or ACC position
- Five minutes have elapsed since the belt minder has started
