Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder® Feature (Driver Only)
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.
Note: If you are using MyKey®, the Belt-Minder® cannot be disabled.
Also, if the Belt-Minder® has been previously disabled, it will be
re-enabled during the use of MyKey®. See the MyKey® chapter.
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the programming
procedure.
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• the parking brake is set
• the transmission selector lever is in position P
• the ignition is off
• all vehicle doors are closed
• the driver's safety belt is unbuckled
• the parking lamps and headlamps are off.
1. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT START THE ENGINE.
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (about one minute).
• Step 3 must be completed within 30 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.
