Safety Belt Warning Indicator and Chime
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The warning indicator and chime are reminders to fasten the safety belt. The system operates as follows:
- If the driver safety belt is not buckled in the first 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or START position, the indicator will illuminate and the chime will toggle from on to off for 6 seconds, for 1 minute.
- If the driver safety belt is buckled while the indicator is on and the chime is sounding, both the indicator and chime will turn off.
- If the safety belt is buckled before the ignition is turned to the ON position, neither the indicator nor the chime will turn on.
