Spontaneously alerts ??? Warning chimes Warning Devices The warning device system consists of the following:

Key-in-ignition warning switch
Door ajar switch
Driver and passenger safety belt minder switch (integral to the safety belt buckle)
Vehicle security module

The instrument cluster and the restraints control module (RCM) control the following chimes:

Safety belt warning (repetitive chime)
Key-in-ignition warning (repetitive chime)
Headlamps on warning (repetitive chime)
Door ajar warning (single tone)
Air bag warning (repetitive chime) The following 5 distinct chime rates are used to indicate warning:
- safety belt warning is 1 chime per second
- key-in-ignition warning is 2 chimes per second
- headlamps on warning is 4 chimes per second
- door ajar warning is a single chime
- air bag warning is 5 chimes per second
- now which of these is your vehicle doing ?
