FORD 2013 Fiesta v.2 - Manual (Page 41)

Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder® Feature (If Equipped)
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.
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.
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the deactivation
and activation programming procedure.
Note: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder® features must be
disabled and enabled separately. Both cannot be disabled and enabled
during the same key cycle.
The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder® features 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 (automatic
transmission) or N (manual transmission).
• the ignition is off.
• the driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled.
1. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT START THE ENGINE.
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (about one minute).
• Step 3 must be completed within 30 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 about seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle then
unbuckle the safety belt.
