Fasten Safety Belt Warning

The MFAM monitors the seat belt switch signal circuit. When the MFAM detects that the driver seat belt is not buckled, and the signal is low. The MFAM provides power via the seat belt indicator control circuit in order to illuminate the fasten safety belt indicator. The fasten safety belt chime activates for 8 seconds. If the seat belt is not buckled, the fasten safety belt indicator will illuminate continuously for 15 seconds and then flash for 60 seconds. The fasten safety belt warning activates and the fasten safety belt indicator illuminates when the following occurs:

• Ignition switch transitions to ON.
• The seat belt switch signal to the MFAM is low.
• At the beginning of each ignition cycle during the displays test.

If the seat belt is buckled when the ignition is turned on, the chime will not activate. If the seat belt is buckled while the chime is activated, the chime will cycle through the remainder of the 8 seconds.
