Safety Belt Warning Indicator and Chime
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The safety belt warning indicator and warning chime are reminders to fasten the safety belts. The system operates as follows:
- If the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the safety belt warning indicator illuminates for one minute and the warning chime sounds for 6 seconds.
- If the driver safety belt is buckled while the warning indicator is illuminated and the warning chime is sounding, the safety belt warning indicator and warning chime turn off.
- If the driver safety belt is buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the safety belt warning indicator and warning chime remain off.
