Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder Feature
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 or activate
the Belt-Minder feature while driving the vehicle.
Read Steps 1 - 5 thoroughly before proceeding with the programming
procedure.
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• The parking brake is set.

• All vehicle doors and the hood are closed.

1. Turn the ignition on. Do not start the engine.

warning light turns off.
3. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times at a moderate speed,
ending with the safety belt in the unbuckled state.

on for three seconds.

unbuckle the safety belt.
