Safety Belt Minder
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The safety belt minder feature is configurable. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION
. To configure without using a diagnostic tool, refer to SAFETY BELT MINDER DEACTIVATING/ACTIVATING .
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. The safety belt minder reminds the driver that their 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 5 km/h (3 mph). While activated, the safety belt minder alternates the chime and indicator from ON for 6 seconds, to OFF for 30 seconds.
The safety belt minder feature stops when:
- the driver safety belt is buckled.
- the ignition switch is turned to the OFF or ACC position.
- 5 minutes have elapsed since safety belt minder has started.
