Key-In Ignition Chime

The key-in ignition chime will act as a warning to the driver that the ignition key has been left in the ignition switch.

With the ignition switch is in the OFF position ONLY:
- Driver's door is open/ajar (door ajar switch is closed to ground)
- Key is in the ignition switch (key-in ignition switch is closed to ground)

The chime will sound until one of the above conditions is removed. Chime rate: 168 - 192 chimes per minute,

To test the key-in ignition function, insert key into the ignition and open Driver's door. Do not turn ignition ON. Chime should sound until key is removed from ignition or Driver's door is closed.
