One time disable
Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an
ignition ON cycle, Belt-Minder_ will be disabled for that ignition cycle
only.

Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder_ feature (if equipped)
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.

The driver Belt-Minder_ feature 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 ignition switch is in the OFF position
• The driver safety belt is unbuckled

1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. (DO NOT
START THE ENGINE)

2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately 1
minute)

• Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.

3. At a moderate speed, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 9 times,
ending in the unbuckled state. (Step 3 must be completed within 50
seconds after the safety belt warning light turns off.)

• After Step 3, the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three
seconds.

4. Within approximately 7 seconds of the light turning off, buckle then
unbuckle the safety belt.

• This will disable the Belt-Minder_ feature for that seating position if it
is currently enabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning light will
flash 4 times per second for 3 seconds.

• This will enable the Belt-Minder_ feature for that seating position if it
is currently disabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning light will
flash 4 times per second for 3 seconds, followed by 3 seconds with the
