Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder Feature

WARNING: While the system allows you to deactivate it, this
system is designed to improve your chances of being safely

belted and surviving an accident. We recommend you leave the system
activated for yourself and others who may use the vehicle. To reduce
the risk of injury, do not deactivate or activate the system while driving
the vehicle.

Note: The driver and front passenger warning are deactivated and
activated independently. When deactivating or activating one seating
position, do not buckle the other position as this will terminate the
process.
