Reasons given...

Consider...

“I have an airbag”

Airbags offer greater protection when
used with safety belts. Frontal airbags
are not designed to inflate in rear and
side crashes or rollovers.

“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”.

Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the
BeltMinder

௡ chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the

risk of injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the
BeltMinder

௡ feature please follow the directions stated below.

One time disable

If at any time the driver/front passenger quickly buckles then unbuckles the
safety belt for that seating position, the BeltMinder

௡ is disabled for the

current ignition cycle. The BeltMinder

௡ feature will enable during the same

ignition cycle if the occupant buckles and remains buckled for approximately
30 seconds. Confirmation is not given for the one time disable.

Deactivating/activating the BeltMinder

feature

The driver and front passenger BeltMinder

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

Note: The driver and front passenger BeltMinder

௡ features must be

disabled/enabled separately. Both cannot be disable/enabled during the
same key cycle.

The driver and front passenger BeltMinder

௡ features can be

deactivated/activated by performing the following procedure:

Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• The parking brake is set
