Safety Belt Minder

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The safety belt minder feature is configurable. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION article. To configure without a scan tool, refer to Belt-Minder® Deactivating/Activating in this article.

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 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 safety belt minder alternates the chime and indicator from on for 6 seconds to off for 30 seconds.

The safety belt minder chime stops when:

the driver safety belt is buckled.
the ignition key is turned to the OFF or ACC position.
five minutes have elapsed since the safety belt minder has started.
