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 air bag system

One time disable

Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an
ignition ON cycle, Belt-Minder

௡ will be disabled for that ignition cycle

only.

Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder

feature (if equipped)

Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.

The driver Belt-Minder

௡ feature can be deactivated/activated by

performing the following procedure:

Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• The parking brake is set
• The gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic transmission)
• The ignition switch is in the OFF position
• The driver safety belt is unbuckled

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.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. (DO NOT
START THE ENGINE)

2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately
1 minute)
• Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt

warning light turns off.

3. At a moderate speed, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 9 times,
ending in the unbuckled state. (Step 3 must be completed within
50 seconds after the safety belt warning light turns off.)
• After Step 3, the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three

seconds.
