Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder® Feature
WARNING:
While the system allows you to deactivate it, this
system is designed to improve your chances of being safely
belted and surviving an accident. We recommend you leave the system
activated for yourself and others who may use the vehicle. To reduce
the risk of injury, do not deactivate or activate the system while driving
the vehicle.
Note:
The driver and front passenger warning are deactivated and
activated independently. When deactivating or activating one seating
position, do not buckle the other position as this will terminate the
process.

procedure.
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
•
the parking brake is set
•
the transmission is in park (P)
•
the ignition is off

1. Turn the ignition on. Do not start the engine.
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (about 1–2 minutes).

warning light turns off.
3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt three times at a moderate speed, ending in the unbuckled
state.

After Step 3, the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three
seconds.
