Warning Chimes

Warning Chimes

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The warning chimes are designed to provide the driver with an audible warning that acts as a supplemental alert. The only deviation from this strategy is the air bag chime which is used to alert the driver that the primary alerting system (air bag warning indicator) does not operate. The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) controls all warning chimes based on messages received from external modules.

The warning device system consists of the following:

- IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster)

- Safety belt warning indicator switch (part of the safety belt buckle)

- Door ajar switches

- Key-in-ignition warning switch (part of the ignition switch)

- Parking brake warning indicator switch

- Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module (Intelligent Access (IA) only)

- SJB (Smart Junction Box)

The following chimes are controlled by the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) :

- Adaptive cruise control

- Air bag warning

- Belt-Minder(R)

- Door ajar

- Headlamps on

- Key-in-ignition

- Message center

- Memory feedback

- MyKey(TM) speed

- Parking brake applied

- Perimeter alarm

- Safety belt warning

- Roll Stability Control (RSC(R))

- Turn signal/hazard

- Turn signal left on
