Safety Belt Warning System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The safety belt warning indicator illuminates and a chime sounds to remind the occupants to fasten their safety belts.
The conditions of operation for the safety belt warning indicator and chime are as follows:
- If the driver's or front passenger's seat (if occupied) safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to RUN, the safety belt warning indicator illuminates for 1--2 minutes and the warning chime sounds for 4--8 seconds.
- If the driver's or front passenger's seat (if occupied) safety belt is buckled while the warning indicator is illuminated and the reminder chime is sounding, then the safety belt warning indicator and reminder chime turn off.
- If the driver's or front passenger's (if occupied) safety belt is buckled before the ignition switch is turned to RUN, the safety belt warning indicator and reminder chime remain off.
