FORD 2011 Explorer v.2 - Manual (Page 195)

Reasons given... Consider...
“I’d rather be thrown clear” Not a good idea. People who are
ejected are 40 times more likely
to DIE. Safety belts help prevent
ejection, WE CAN’T “PICK OUR
CRASH”.
WARNING: Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a
latchplate into the buckle to avoid the Belt-Minder
௡ chime. To
do so may adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’s airbag
system.
Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder
ா feature
The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder
௡ 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 - 5 thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.
Note: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder
௡ features must be
disabled/enabled separately. Both cannot be disable/enabled during the
same key cycle.
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 during the use of MyKey
௡. Refer to MyKey௡ in the Locks and
security chapter.
