One Time Disable; Deactivating/Activating The Belt Minder Feature - Mercury Mountaineer 2001 Owner's Manual

Reasons given...
I have an air bag
I'd rather be thrown clear
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the Belt
Minder chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the risk of
injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the Belt
Minder feature please follow the directions stated below.

One time disable

Anytime the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an ignition
ON cycle, Belt Minder will be disabled for that ignition cycle only.

Deactivating/activating the belt minder feature

Read steps 1 - 9 thoroughly 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) (automatic transmission) or the neutral
position (manual transmission).
the ignition switch is in the OFF position
all vehicle doors are closed
the driver's safety belt is unbuckled
the parklamps/headlamps are in OFF position (If vehicle is equipped
with Autolamps, the Autolamps feature MUST be turned off.)
To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the Belt
Minder feature while driving the vehicle.
Seating and safety restraints
Consider...
Air bags 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 .
