Deactivating/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/activate the system while driving the vehicle.
Note: The driver and front passenger warning 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.
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• The parking brake is set
• The gearshift is in P (Park)
• The ignition is off
• The driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled
The system can be deactivated/activated by performing the following
procedure:
1. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT START THE ENGINE.
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (approximately
1–2 minutes).
• Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt
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.
4. Within approximately seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle
then unbuckle the safety belt.
