Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder

feature

The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder

are

deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/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/activation programming procedure.

Note: If you are using MyKey

௡, the Belt-Minder௡ cannot be disabled.

Also, if the Belt-Minder

௡ has been previously disabled, it will be

re-enabled after the use of MyKey

௡. Refer to MyKey௡ in the Locks and

security chapter.

The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder

௡ features can be

deactivated/activated by performing the following procedure:

Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• The parking brake is set
• The gearshift is in P (Park)
• The ignition switch is in the off position
• The driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled

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.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the on position. DO NOT START THE
ENGINE.

2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately one
minute)
• Step 3 must be completed within 30 seconds after the safety belt

warning light turns off.

3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt three times, ending in the unbuckled state.
• After Step 3, the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three

seconds.
