Audible Warnings

The IKE incorporates an audible warning sounder and is used to provide information to the driver for the following systems.

Seat belt -  Warns the driver the Seat Belts are not buckled.

Lights on -  Warns the driver that the lights are switched on when the door is opened and the ignition is off. The audible warning will be continual until the door is closed, the ignition is turned ON or the lights are switched OFF.

Key in -  Warns the driver that the key is still in the ignition at position 0 and the driver's door is open. The sound will be per-formed indefinitely while the key in warning condition exists.

This function is required for the vehicle to satisfy North American legislation.

Hood open -  Used when the hood is not correctly closed, with headlight low beam on and at a vehicle speed greater than 5 km/h. Audible warning will continue until either the road speed is reduced below 5 km/h, or the hood is closed.

Engine coolant over-temperature -  Used when the engine is overheating. This audible warning is active when the engine coolant temperature warning light becomes illuminated

Park Distance Control (PDC) -  Used to assist the driver in judging distances while parking. The closer the vehicle gets to an object, the faster the audible sound. When the vehicle is too close the audible tone will be continuous.

Direction indicator (tick/tock) -  Used to indicate to the driver that either the direction indicator or hazard warning lights are operational.
