How do I Enable the Ford Focus Chimes?
- 1). Ensure that the parking brake is set, the vehicle is in Park (automatic) or Neutral (manual), the ignition is off, the doors are closed, all seat belts are unbuckled, and the headlights and parking lights are off.
- 2). Turn the ignition switch ON, but do not start the engine. Wait for the seat belt light to go out (this takes from 1 to 2 minutes).
- 3). Perform one of these two actions (depending on the year of your vehicle) within 50 seconds:
2000-2004: Buckle, then unbuckle the seat belt 3 times. Turn the headlights on, then off. Buckle, then unbuckle the seat belt 3 times.
2005-beyond: Buckle, then unbuckle the seat belt 9 times.
The seat belt warning light will be turned on for 3 seconds, then off. - 4). Buckle and then unbuckle the seat belt once within 7 seconds after the seat belt warning light turns off. This step will toggle the BeltMinder feature on or off.
- 5). Watch the seat belt warning light after completing Step 4. If the BeltMinder feature has been enabled, the warning light will flash four times per second for 3 seconds, turn off for 3 seconds, then flash four times per second for 3 seconds again. If the feature has been disabled, the warning light will flash four times per second for 3 seconds without repeating.
