While the system allows you to
switch this feature off, the intent of
the system is to remind you to wear

leave the system switched on for yourself
and others who may use the vehicle.

warnings switch on and off independently.
When you perform this procedure for one
seating position, do not buckle the other
position as this will terminate the process.
