Warning Chimes
Airbag Secondary Warning Chime
The airbag secondary warning chime warns that the airbag warning indicator is inoperative and that a SRS fault condition exists. The IPC monitors the airbag warning indicator status internally. When a fault is detected in the airbag warning indicator during prove-out or while the RCM is requesting the airbag warning indicator on through the restraints indicator request message, the airbag secondary warning chime sounds five repetitive chime tones.
Belt-Minder ® Feature
The Belt-Minder ® is configurable on or off. 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 and receives the Belt-Minder ® level request from the RCM. The Belt-Minder ® reminds the driver that the driver safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently and simultaneously sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning indicator in the IPC once the vehicle speed has exceeded 9.7 km/h (6 mph). The Belt-Minder ® remains active for 5 minutes from the time it is started. While activated, the Belt-Minder ® chime provides a series of 6 chimes/safety belt warning indicator flash sequences, which consist of a 1 second chime tone and safety belt warning indicator on/off state. The Belt-Minder ® chime and the safety belt warning indicator sound and flash for 6 seconds, then the chime stops and the safety belt warning indicator remains on for 25 seconds. The IPC repeats the chime cycle for 5 minutes.
If the vehicle speed drops below 4.8 km/h (3 mph) once the Belt-Minder ® chime has activated, the chime turns off and the safety belt warning indicator remains on. When the vehicle speed exceeds 9.7 km/h (6 mph) again, the Belt-Minder ® chime resumes.
When MyKey ® is in use, the Belt-Minder ® is automatically enabled and the driver cannot configure the Belt-Minder ® off. Once the Belt-Minder ® is activated, the Belt-Minder ® continues to chime periodically (does not time out after 5 minutes) and the audio system is muted until the driver and passenger safety belts are fastened. For more information on the MyKey ® feature, refer to the Owner's Literature.
