Reasons given...
Consider...
“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 “PICK OUR
CRASH”.
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.
One time disable
If at any time the driver/front passenger quickly buckles then unbuckles
the Belt-Minder
威
feature for that seating position, the Belt-Minder™ is
disabled for the current ignition cycle. The Belt-Minder
威
feature will
re-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 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.
The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder
威
features can be
deactivated/activated by performing the following procedure:
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
•
The parking brake is set
•
The gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic transmission)
•
The ignition switch is in the OFF position
•
The driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled
While the design allows you to deactivate your Belt-Minder
威
, this
system is designed to improve your chances of being safely
belted and surviving an accident. We recommend you leave the
Belt-Minder
威
system activated for yourself and others who may use the
vehicle. To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the
Belt-Minder
威
feature while driving the vehicle.
