Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the
BeltMinder chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the
risk of injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the
BeltMinder feature please follow the directions stated below.
One time disable
If at any time the driver/front passenger quickly buckles then unbuckles
the BeltMinder feature for that seating position, the BeltMinder
disabled for the current ignition cycle. The BeltMinder

remains buckled for approximately 30 seconds. Confirmation is not given
for the one time disable.

one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this will
terminate the process.

deactivation/activation programming procedure.
The driver and front passenger BeltMinder
