Safety Belt Minder - Ford Escape 2013 Owner's Manual

SAFETY BELT MINDER

Belt-Minder®
This feature supplements the safety belt
warning function by providing additional
reminders by intermittently sounding a
chime and illuminating the safety belt
warning light when the driver's or front
passenger's seat is occupied and the
safety belt is unbuckled.
The driver's and front passenger's safety
belts are buckled before the ignition switch
is turned to the on position or less than 1-2
minutes have elapsed since the ignition
switch has been turned to on...
The driver's or front passenger's safety belt
is not buckled when the vehicle has reached
at least 6 mph (9.7 km/h) and 1-2 minutes
have elapsed since the ignition switch has
been turned to on...
The driver's or front passenger's safety belt
becomes unbuckled for approximately one
minute while the vehicle is traveling at least
6 mph (9.7 km/h) and more than 1-2
minutes have elapsed since the ignition
switch has been turned to on...
Safety Belts
If...
The system uses information from the
front passenger sensing system to
determine if a front seat passenger is
present and therefore potentially in need
of a warning. To avoid activating the
Belt-Minder feature for objects placed in
the front passenger seat, warnings will only
be given to large front seat occupants as
determined by the front passenger sensing
system.
If the Belt-Minder warnings have expired
(warnings for approximately five minutes)
for one occupant (driver or front
passenger), the other occupant can still
activate the Belt-Minder feature.
The Belt-Minder feature will not activate.
The Belt-Minder feature is activated - the
safety belt warning light illuminates and
the warning chime sounds for six seconds
every 25 seconds, repeating for approxim-
ately five minutes or until the safety belts
are buckled.
