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.

Note: The driver and front passenger
warnings switch on and off independently.
When you perform this procedure for one
seating position, do not buckle the other
position as this will terminate the process.

Note: If you are using MyKey, you cannot
disable the Belt-Minder. Also, if you have
previously disabled the Belt-Minder, it will
be re-enabled during the use of MyKey.

Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before
proceeding with the programming
procedure.

Before following the procedure, make sure
that:

The parking brake is set.

The transmission is in park (P)
(automatic transmission) or neutral
(N) (manual transmission).

The ignition is off.

The driver and front passenger safety
belts are unbuckled.

1.

Switch the ignition on. Do not start the
vehicle.

2. Wait until the safety belt warning light

turns off (about one minute). After
Step 2, wait an additional 5 seconds
before proceeding with Step 3. Once
you start Step 3, you must complete
the procedure within 30 seconds.
