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/activate the
Belt-Minder
௡ feature while driving the vehicle.
Note: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder
௡ are deactivated and
activated independently. When deactivating or activating one seating
position, do not buckle the other position as this will terminate the
process.
Note: If you are using MyKey
௡, the Belt-Minder௡ cannot be disabled.
Also, if the Belt-Minder
௡ has been previously disabled, it will be
re-enabled after the use of MyKey
௡. Refer to the MyKey௡ chapter.
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the deactivation
or activation programming procedure.
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• the parking brake is set
• the transmission selector lever is in position P

warning light turns off.

safety belt three times, ending in the unbuckled state.
• After Step 3, the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three
seconds.

then unbuckle the safety belt.
