Generic electronic module (GEM)

The driver warning chime provides the driver with an audible warning:

when the key is in the ignition and the driver door is open (North American vehicles only).
when the headlamps are on and the driver door is open with the ignition off.
when the engine is running and the safety belt is not engaged (driver side only).

The driver will also be provided with a visual warning or visual message displayed in the information message center (if fitted). The system
uses a number of inputs to provide the driver with audible and visual warnings.

Instrument Cluster

The instrument cluster acts as a system monitor for the visual warnings. It receives inputs from switches and sensors directly or through the
multiplex link from another module and triggers the necessary visual warning

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder (North America Only)

A warning chime will sound continuously when the driver door is open and the key is in the ignition, on removal of the key the warning will
cease. The switch is an integral part of the ignition lock cylinder and therefore can only be installed with the lock cylinder.

Door Ajar Switches

The door ajar switches (within the latch) activate the system to provide a visual warning when the ignition is in the RUN position and any of
the doors are open/ajar.

Luggage Compartment Switch - 4 Door Vehicles

The luggage compartment switch activates the system to provide a visual warning when the ignition is in the RUN position and the luggage
compartment is open/ajar.

Liftgate Switch - Wagon

The liftgate switch (within the liftgate latch) activates the system to provide a visual warning when the ignition is in the RUN position and
the liftgate is open/ajar.

Liftgate Opening Window - Wagon

The liftgate opening window switch (within the liftgate window glass latch) activates the system to provide a visual warning when the
ignition is in the RUN position and the liftgate window glass is open/ajar.

Engine Compartment Switch

The engine compartment switch activates the system to provide a visual warning when the ignition is in the RUN position and the hood is
open/ajar.

Headlamp Switch

A warning chime will sound continuously when the driver door is open/ajar and the vehicle lamps are on. This warning is provided only with
the ignition off and will cease after 30 minutes, when the lamps are switched off or when the door is closed.

Safety Belt Switch (North America, Japan, Mexico and Dominican Republic Only)

A warning chime will sound continuously for approximately six seconds when the driver turns the ignition to the RUN position and the safety
belt is not engaged. The warning chime will cease if the safety belt is engaged. The switch is an integral part of the driver safety belt
buckle and therefore can only be installed with a safety belt buckle. A visual warning will also be provided on the instrument cluster.

Cooling Over Temperature

Engine temperatures above 120°C activate the system to provide a visual warning in the instrument cluster. The temperature warning light
is illuminated constantly and a HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE is displayed in the message center (if fitted).

Air Bag Malfunction Chime

If a fault is detected with the air bag visual indication circuit five short warning chimes will be generated and repeated five times. This
sequence is repeated every 30 minutes.

J Gate (Automatic vehicles only)

A warning chime will sound if the J Gate selector is not in PARK and the ignition is turned from RUN to ACC. The chime continues for 10
seconds or until the selector is placed in PARK.
