Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to
avoid the Belt Minder chime. Sitting on the

safety belt will increase the risk of injury in an
accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the
Belt Minder feature please follow the directions
stated below.

One time disable

Anytime 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

Read steps 1 - 9 thoroughly before proceeding
with the deactivation/activation programming
procedure.

The 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) or the neutral position (manual
transmission)

• the ignition switch is in the OFF position
• all vehicle doors are closed
• the driver’s safety belt is unbuckled
• the parklamps/headlamps are in OFF position (If

vehicle is equipped with Autolamps, this will not
affect the procedure.)

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)
