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:

Do not sit on top of a buckled seat belt or insert a

latchplate into the buckle to avoid the Belt-Minder

chime. To

do so may adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’s air bag

system and result in serious injury, ejection and death.

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

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/activate the Belt-Minder

feature while driving the vehicle.
