PRNDL Not In Park Warning Chime

The IPC provides a PRNDL not in park warning chime that sounds along with the transmission not in park message center message center display to inform the driver the vehicle is not in PARK (P). The IPC displays the shift to park message and the PRNDL not in park warning chime sounds three 0.5-second chime tones if the vehicle is not in PARK (P), the ignition is OFF and the driver door is open or ajar. The IPC requires the transmission gear display, brake pedal applied, vehicle speed, driver door ajar and ignition status to control the PRNDL not in park warning chime.

Refer to Shift To Park Message Display for message details.

When a chime request is received, the IPC sends the IPC chime request message to the ACM and the audio DSP (with THX® audio system) to sound the chime.
