Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder Feature
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
the Belt-Minder system activated for yourself and others who may use
the vehicle. To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate or activate
the Belt-Minder feature while driving the vehicle.
Note: The driver and front passenger warnings switch on and off
independently. When you perform this procedure for one seating
position, do not buckle the other position as this will terminate the
process.
Note: If you are using MyKey, you cannot disable the Belt-Minder. Also,
if you have previously disabled the Belt-Minder, it will be re-enabled
during the use of MyKey. See the MyKey chapter.
