Chime System

CHIME SYSTEM
The chime system is built into the CTM. There are two chime rates: Low - 50 chimes per minute for reminders, and High - 180 chimes per minute for serious conditions that require immediate attention. The high rate chime sounds when the key is left in the ignition and the driver's door is open or if the headlights or the courtesy lights are left on. The low rate chime sounds for any of the other conditions. The seat belt warning chime is activated for 6 seconds, and all other chime conditions will activate the chime once at the same time the warning light on the cluster is illuminated.

The Chime will sound for the following conditions:
- CTM entered user program mode
- ABS light on
- Ignition off; key in ignition, driver's door open
- Ignition off, headlamps on, driver's door open (key out of ignition)
