Reasons given...

Consider...

I have an airbag

Airbags offer greater protection when
used with seat belts. Frontal airbags
are not designed to inflate in rear and
side crashes or rollovers.

I’d rather be thrown clear

Not a good idea.

People

who are

ejected are 40 times more likely to
DIE.

Seat belts help prevent ejection,

WE CAN’T

PICK OUR CRASH

.

WARNING: Always wear the seat belt. Do not be tempted to sit
on top of the belt to fool police or to defeat the warning
system. The seat belt and seat belt warning system are there to
protect your life.

One-time disable

If at any time the driver/front passenger quickly buckles then unbuckles the
seat belt for that seating position, the Belt-Minder

is disabled for the

current ignition cycle. The Belt-Minder

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.

Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder

feature

The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder

are

deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/activating
one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this will
terminate the process.

Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.

The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder

features 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)

The gearshift is in N (Neutral) (manual transmission)

The ignition switch is in the OFF position

The driver and front passenger seat belts are unbuckled
