Chime going off

Hey guys i have a 2003 Escape. This thing has started setting off a chime after you start it.
here is the pattern it rings in. 5 times stops 5 more times stops 5 more times and stops. after 3 times it does not do this again for about 45 miles then it starts over with the same pattern.
There is not any lights on to tell me anything no doors are open. can someone help me with this. It is like it is trying to warn me about something but i don't have a clue what. I have even checked the lights on the car all are working fine.

I believe thats a backup warning for a burned out air bag warning idiot light.

Turn the key one click, do all the warning lights come on, especially the SRS/air bag light?

87 XLT i think you got it. There is no Airbag light coming on when the switch it first turned on. I will get the cluster out and replace the light and let you all know. Thanks
