Safety Belt Minder

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The safety belt minder is configurable. For additional information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION . To configure without using a diagnostic tool, refer to SAFETY BELT MINDER DEACTIVATING/ACTIVATING .

The safety belt minder feature supplements the current safety belt warning function. The safety belt minder is enabled after the current safety belt warning is complete. The safety belt minder reminds the driver that the driver or passenger safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster once the vehicle speed has exceeded 5 km/h (3 mph), and remains active for 5 minutes from the time it is started. While activated, the safety belt minder alternates the chime and indicator from on for 6 seconds to off for 30 seconds.

NOTE: The safety belt minder is disabled for 1 ignition switch ON cycle if the safety belt is buckled then unbuckled during that specific cycle.
