One Time Disable; Deactivating/Activating The Beltminder Feature - Ford F-550 Owner's Manual

Seating and Safety Restraints
Reasons given...
"The people I'm with don't
wear belts"
"I have an airbag"
"I'd rather be thrown clear"
Do not sit on tope of a buckled safety belt or insert a latchplate
into the buckle to avoid the BeltMinder chime. To do so may
adversely affect the performance of the vehicle's air bag system

One time disable

Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an
ignition ON cycle, the BeltMinder will be disabled for that ignition cycle
only.

Consider...
Set the example, teen deaths occur 4
times more often in vehicles with
TWO or MORE people. Children and
younger brothers/sisters imitate
behavior they see.
Airbags offer greater protection when
used with safety belts. Frontal airbags
are not designed to inflate in rear and
side crashes or rollovers.
Not a good idea. People who are
ejected are 40 times more likely
to DIE. Safety belts help prevent
ejection, WE CAN'T "PICK OUR
CRASH".
