Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minderா feature
Read Steps1-5thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.
The Belt-Minder feature 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
• all vehicle doors and the hood are closed
• the driver’s safety belt is unbuckled
• the parklamps/headlamps are in the off position
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. At a moderate speed, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three
times, ending with the safety belt in the unbuckled state.
• After Step 3 is complete, the safety belt warning light will be turned
on for three seconds.
• Belt-Minder will automatically exit programming mode without
changing its enable status if Step 4 does not occur within 10 seconds
of the end of Step 3.
4. Within approximately seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle
then unbuckle the safety belt.
• This will disable the Belt-Minder feature for that seating position if it
is currently enabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning light will
flash four times per second for three seconds.
