Note: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder are deactivated and
activated independently. When deactivating or activating one seating
position, do not buckle the other position as this will terminate the
process.
Read Steps 1 - 5 thoroughly before proceeding with the programming
procedure.
Note: If you are using MyKey®, the Belt-Minder cannot be disabled.

safety belt three times at a moderate speed, ending in the unbuckled
state.
• After Step 4, the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three
seconds.
