BeltAlert

௡ can be enabled or disabled by your authorized

dealer or by following these steps:

NOTE:

The following steps must occur within the first

60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON
or START position. The manufacturer does not recom-
mend deactivating BeltAlert

௡.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and
fasten the driver seat belt.

2. Start the engine, and wait for the Seat Belt Reminder
Light to turn off.

3. Within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle
and then re-buckle the driver seat belt at least three times,
ending with the seat belt buckled.

4. Turn OFF the engine. A single chime will sound to
signify that you have successfully completed the
programming.

BeltAlert

௡ can be reactivated by repeating this procedure.

NOTE:

Although BeltAlert

௡ has been deactivated, the

Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to illuminate
while the driver seat belt remains unfastened.

Seat Belt Lock Out

The center rear seat belt system has a lock out feature that
will not allow you to extract the center webbing unless
the rear seat upper latch is engaged.

Seat Belts and Pregnant Women

We recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts
throughout their pregnancy. Keeping the mother safe is
the best way to keep the baby safe.

Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt
across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the
abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take
the force if there is a collision.
