Reasons given...
Consider...
“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 “PICK OUR
CRASH”.
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 airbag
system.
One-time disable
If at any time the driver/front passenger quickly buckles then unbuckles
the safety belt for that seating position, the Belt-Minder
威
is disabled for
the current ignition cycle. The Belt-Minder
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 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
: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder
威
features must be
disabled/enabled separately. Both cannot be disable/enabled during the
same key cycle.
