Belt Minder
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The belt minder feature is configurable. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION . To configure without a 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. The belt minder reminds the driver that his/her safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning indicator in the instrument cluster once the vehicle speed has exceeded 4 km/h (3 mph). While activated, the belt minder alternates the chime and indicator from ON for 6 seconds to OFF for 30 seconds.
The belt minder chime 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.
