Ford 2009 F-250 Automobile User Manual


 
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.
Belt-Minder activation and deactivation procedure
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
1 minute)
Step 3 must be completed within 60 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.
3. At a moderate speed, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 9 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 3 seconds.
If Step 4 does not occur within 10 seconds at the end of Step 3,
Belt-Minder will automatically exit programming mode without
changing its enable status.
4. Within 7 seconds of the light turning on, at a moderate speed, buckle
then unbuckle the safety belt.
This will disable the Belt-Minder feature if it is currently enabled. As

This will enable the Belt-Minder feature if it is currently disabled. As

for 3 seconds again.
