Belt Minder
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 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 using a diagnostic tool, refer to 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 their safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster once the vehicle speed has exceeded 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 reminder stops when:
- the driver safety belt is buckled.
- the ignition is turned to OFF or ACC.
- 5 minutes have elapsed since the belt minder has started.
