௢ chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the
risk of injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the
BeltMinder
௢ feature please follow the directions stated below.

the BeltMinder
௢ feature for that seating position, the BeltMinder௢ is
disabled for the current ignition cycle. The BeltMinder
௢ feature will
re-enable during the same ignition cycle if the occupant buckles and
remains buckled for approximately 30 seconds. Confirmation is not given
for the one time disable.
