Fasten Safety Belt Warning

The radio activates the fasten safety belt audible warning as requested by the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM sends a class 2 message to the radio indicating the chime of a slow rate frequency and an 8 second duration. The fasten safety belt warning sounds and the fasten safety belt indicator illuminates when the following occurs:
^ The ignition switch transitions to ON.
^ The BCM detects that the driver's seat belt is not buckled and the signal circuit is low. The IPC receives a message via the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) from the BCM requesting illumination of the seat belt indicator.

If the seat belt is buckled when the ignition is turned on, the chime does not sound. If the seat belt is buckled while the chime is sounding, the chime stops. If the seat belt is unbuckled after the initial transition to ON, the chime does not sound.
