Seating and Safety Restraints
Reasons given... Consider...
"I was in a hurry" Prime time for an accident. BeltMinder
reminds us to take a few seconds to buckle up.
"Safety belts don't Safety belts, when used properly, reduce risk of
work" death to front seat occupants by 45% in cars,
and by 60% in light trucks.
"Traffic is light" Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle
crashes, many when no other vehicles are around.
"Belts wrinkle my Possibly, but a serious crash can do much more

"I have an airbag" Airbags offer greater protection when used with
safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to
inflate in rear and side crashes or rollovers.
"I'd rather be Not a good idea. People who are ejected are 40
thrown clear" times more likely to DIE. Safety belts help
prevent ejection, WE CAN'T "PICK OUR CRASH".
Do not sit on top 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
If at any time the driver/front passenger quickly buckles then unbuckles
the safety belt for that seating position, the BeltMinder is disabled for
the current ignition cycle. The BeltMinder feature will enable during the
same ignition cycle if the occupant buckles and remains buckled for
approximately 30 seconds. Confirmation is not given for the one time
disable.
