Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder® Feature
WARNING: While the design allows you to deactivate your
Belt-Minder®, this system is designed to improve your chances of
being safely belted and surviving an accident. We recommend you leave
the Belt-Minder® system activated for yourself and others who may use
the vehicle. To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate or activate
the Belt-Minder® feature while driving the vehicle.
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the programming
procedure.
The Belt-Minder® feature can be deactivated or activated by performing
the following procedure.
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• the parking brake is set.
• the transmission selector lever is in position P.
• the ignition is off.
• all vehicle doors are closed.
• the driver’s safety belt is unbuckled.
1. Switch the ignition on. DO NOT START THE ENGINE.
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (about 1 to
2 minutes).
• Steps 3 and 4 must be completed within 60 seconds or the procedure
will have to be repeated.
3. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with the
safety belt unbuckled. The safety belt warning light will come on for
about three seconds.
4. Within seven seconds of the safety belt warning light turning off,
buckle then unbuckle the safety belt. The safety warning light will flash.
• This will disable Belt-Minder® if it is currently enabled, or enable
Belt-Minder® if it is currently disabled.
