The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern
or a critical vehicle condition. The radio, or the rear integration module
(RIM) with option UQ4, generates the audible warnings through the
left front speaker. The radio receives audible warning requests
via the class 2 serial data link. If the radio receives multiple
audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority
is activated first. The following lists the audible warning priority
and the pulse rate:
- Fast rate chime - 200 pulses per minute
- Medium rate chime - 150 pulses per minute
- Slow rate chime - 50 pulses per minute
- Single chime
Door Ajar Warning
The radio receives a class 2 message from the instrument panel
cluster (IPC) in order to activate a continuous, medium rate chime. The
appropriate door ajar message illuminates in the driver information center
(DIC) and the audible warning is activated when the following occurs:
| • | The IPC receives a class 2 message from the body control
module (BCM) indicating that a door is open. The signal circuit is low. |
| • | The vehicle speed is greater than 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
The IPC uses the vehicle speed signal circuit from the powertrain control
module (PCM) in order to calculate the vehicle speed. |
Fasten Safety Belt Warning
The radio receives a class 2 message from the IPC in order to
activate an 8 second, slow rate chime. The fasten safety belt indicator
illuminates and the audible warning is activated when the following
occurs:
| • | The ignition switch transitions to ON. |
| • | The IPC receives a class 2 message from the inflatable
restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) indicating that the driver's
seat belt is not buckled. The signal circuit is low. |
The chime is not activated if the seat belt is buckled when the ignition
is turned on or if the seat belt is unbuckled after the initial transition
to ON. The chime stops if the seat belt is buckled
while the chime is activated.
Key-In-Ignition Warning
The radio receives a class 2 message from the IPC in order to
activate a continuous, medium rate chime. The key in ignition audible
warning is activated when the following occurs:
| • | The key is in the ignition. |
| • | The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM indicating
that the driver door is open, and the signal circuit is low. |
| • | The IPC determines that the key-in-ignition switch is closed.
The signal circuit is low. |
Lights On Warning
The radio receives a class 2 message from the IPC in order to
activate a continuous, fast rate chime. The LIGHTS ON message is illuminated
in the DIC and the audible warning is activated when the following
occurs:
| • | The IPC determines that the key has been removed from the ignition. |
| • | The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM indicating
that the driver door is open. The signal circuit is low. |
| • | The IPC receives a class 2 from the BCM indicating that
the headlamps or the park lamps are on. |
Additional Warnings
The following warnings have an associated IPC indicator or DIC message:
| | The radio receives a class 2 message from the IPC in order to
activate a five pulse, medium rate chime. |
| | The radio receives a class 2 message from the IPC in order to
activate a five pulse, medium rate chime. |
| • | ENGINE OVERHEATED STOP ENGINE -- 42 |
| | The radio receives a class 2 message from the IPC in order to
activate a continuous, medium rate chime. |
| • | OIL PRESSURE LOW STOP ENGINE -- 35 |
| | The radio receives a class 2 message from the IPC in order to
activate a five pulse, medium rate chime. |
| | The radio receives a class 2 message from the IPC, in order to
activate a single chime per turn signal pulse. |
