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

WARNING:
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a
latchplate into the buckle to avoid the Belt-Minder
威
chime. To
do so may adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’s air bag
system.
Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder
姞
feature
The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder
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.
Note:
If you are using MyKey™, the Belt-Minder
威
cannot be disabled.
Also, if the Belt-Minder
威
has been previously disabled, it will be
re-enabled after the use of MyKey™. Refer to
MyKey™
in the
Locks
and security
chapter.
