than 1-2 minutes have elapsed
since the ignition switch has
been turned to on... The Belt-Minder® feature is activated -
the safety belt warning light illuminates
and the warning chime sounds for
six seconds every 25 seconds, repeating
for about five minutes or until the safety
belts are buckled.
Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder® Feature (Driver Only)
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
