Reasons given...
Consider...
⬙
The people I’m with don’t
wear belts
⬙
Set the example, teen deaths occur
4 times more often in vehicles with
TWO or MORE people. Children and
younger brothers/sisters imitate
behavior they see.
⬙
I have an airbag
⬙
Airbags offer greater protection when
used with safety belts. Frontal airbags
are not designed to inflate in rear and
side crashes or rollovers.
⬙
I’d rather be thrown clear
⬙
Not a good idea.
People
who are
ejected are 40 times more likely
to DIE.
Safety belts help prevent
ejection, WE CAN’T
⬙

CRASH

.
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a latchplate
into the buckle to avoid the BeltMinder
威
chime. To do so may
adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’s air bag system
One time disable
If at any time the driver/front passenger quickly buckles then unbuckles
the safety belt for that seating position, the BeltMinder
威
is disabled for
the current ignition cycle. The BeltMinder
威
feature will enable during the
same ignition cycle if the occupant buckles and remains buckled for
approximately 30 seconds. Confirmation is not given for the one time
disable.
Deactivating/activating the BeltMinder
姞
feature
The driver and front passenger BeltMinder
威
are
deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/activating
one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this will
terminate the process.
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.
