Warning Chimes: Belt-Minder®
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Belt-Minder® feature supplements the current safety belt warning function. The Belt-Minder® feature is enabled after the current safety belt warning is complete. The Belt-Minder® reminds the driver that his/her safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster (IC) once the vehicle speed has exceeded 5 km/h (3 mph). While activated, the Belt-Minder® alternates the chime and indicator from ON for 6 seconds, to OFF for 30 seconds.
NOTE:
The Belt-Minder® is a configurable item. To configure without using a scan tool, refer to Belt-Minder® Deactivating/Activating .
The Belt-Minder® reminder stops when:
- the driver or passenger safety belt is buckled.
- the ignition switch is turned to the OFF or ACC position.
- five minutes have elapsed since Belt-Minder® has started.
