FORD 2009 F-150 v.1 - Manual (Page 177)

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.

minute)
• Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.

belt nine times, ending in the unbuckled state. (Step 3 must be completed
within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning light turns off.)
• After Step 3, the restraint system warning light (airbag light) will be
turned on for three seconds.
4. Within approximately seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle
then unbuckle the safety belt.

Safety belt extension assembly
If the safety belt is too short when fully extended, there is an 8 inch
(20 cm) safety belt extension assembly that can be added (part number
611C22). This assembly can be obtained from an authorized dealer.
Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety
belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on
the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too
short for you when fully extended.
