- Seat Belt Warning Function
The driver side indicator in the Cluster is activated by 'Driver Seat Belt Indicator Status' CAN signal and the assistant side indicator is activated by the IPM output 'Assist Seat Belt Indicator'.
Seat Belt Warning Sound:
In case of Driver side 6sec Indicator, the cluster module operates it after receiving 'Driver Seat Belt Indicator Status' from the IPM. So if the IPM sends 'Driver Seat Belt Indicator Status = blinking' over 6sec then the IPM sounds buzzer warning one more time.
Frequency: 800 Hz
Sound period: T2 = 1sec
Sound duration: T1 = 6sec
Assistant Seat Belt Indicator:
Duty: 50%
Period: T2 = 1sec
Duration: T1 = 6sec
Driver Seat Belt IND and Buzzer Sound Logic Condition
- While IGN1 On status if IPM detects Seat Belt transition UNFASTEN → FASTEN, BUZZER SOUND stops immediately but DRIVER SEAT BELT IND continues working for the remained time.
- While IGN1 ON status if there is a Seat Belt transition FASTEN → UNFASTEN, DRIVER SEAT BELT IND and BUZZER SOUND are always activated for one period.
- If IGN1 is turned OFF during SEAT BELT WARNING, the DRIVER SEAT BELT IND and BUZZER SOUND stops immediately.
- If IPM detects IGN ON signal regardless of Seat Belt status, DRIVER SEAT BELT IND should be triggered for defined timing for IND check but Buzzer SOUND should be played only in case of unfastened Seat Belt.
NOTE:- Seat belt warning buzzer sound is optional while driver seat belt warning indicator is always present in all software variant.
- The in-circuited magnetic buzzer sound is used for seat belt warning.
