Safety Belt-Minder - Ford Fiesta Owner's Manual

SAFETY 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 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
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.
