Message Center Warning Chime
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The message center warning chime feature draws the driver's attention to the message center display to view new warning messages. There are 3 different message center warning chime types that are defined by the length of the chime tone, which are designed to create a greater sense of urgency based on the nature of the condition and message displayed in the message center.
- Informational (1-second chime)
- Soft warning (0.5-second chime)
- Hard warning (0.25-second chime)
When a new message request is received, the IPC sends the IPC chime request message to the ACM and the audio DSP to sound the chime.
