Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder ா Feature (If Equipped)
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/activate the
Belt-Minder
௡ feature while driving the vehicle.
Note: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder
௡ are deactivated and
activated independently. When deactivating or activating one seating
position, do not buckle the other position as this will terminate the process.
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the deactivation
and activation programming procedure.
Note: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder
௡ features must be
disabled and enabled separately. Both cannot be disabled and enabled
during the same key cycle.
The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder
௡ features can be deactivated
or activated by performing the following procedure:
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• The parking brake is set.
• The transmission selector lever is in position P (automatic
transmission) or N (manual transmission).
• The ignition is off.
• The driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled.
