Warning Chimes: Belt-Minder®
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Belt-Minder® is configurable. To configure with a scan tool, refer to BELT-MINDER® DEACTIVATING/ACTIVATING .
The Belt-Minder® feature supplements the current safety belt warning function and 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 indicator in the IC once the vehicle speed has exceeded 5 km/h (3 mph). The Belt-Minder® remains active for 5 minutes from the time it is started. While activated, the Belt-Minder® chime and indicator flash and chime simultaneously from on for 6 seconds to off for 30 seconds.
NOTE:
The Belt-Minder® is disabled for one ignition cycle if the safety belt is buckled then unbuckled within 20 seconds during that specific cycle.
The Belt-Minder® warning chime inputs are the:
- Ignition state.
- Driver or passenger safety belt warning chime request communicated by the RCM to the IC through the HS-CAN .
