Warning Chimes: Belt-Minder®

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Belt-Minder® is configurable. To configure using a scan tool, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION article. To configure without using a scan tool, refer to Belt-Minder® Deactivating/Activating .

NOTE: The Belt-Minder® is disabled for one ignition switch ON cycle if the safety belt is buckled then unbuckled quickly (within 20 seconds) during that specific cycle.

The Belt-Minder® feature supplements the current safety belt warning function. The Belt-Minder® is enabled after the current safety belt warning is complete. The Belt-Minder® reminds the driver that the driver or passenger safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster (IC) once the vehicle speed has exceeded 5 km/h (3 mph). While activated, the Belt-Minder® alternates the chime and indicator from on for 6 seconds to off for 30 seconds.
