Belt-Minder® Deactivating/Activating: Deactivating/Activating

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder® are deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/activating one seating position, do not buckle the other position.
  1. Place the ignition switch in the RUN position. (Do not start the engine.)
  2. Wait until the safety belt warning lamp turns off (approximately 1 minute).
    3. NOTE: Steps 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning indicator turns off.
  3. For seating position being disabled, at a moderate rate, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 9 times, ending with the safety belt in the unbuckled state.
    • After this step, the air bar warning indicator illuminates for 3 seconds.
  4. Within 7 seconds after the air bar warning indicator turns off, at a moderate rate, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt.
    • This disables the Belt-Minder® feature for that seating position, if it is currently enabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning indicator flashes 4 times per second for 3 seconds.
    • This enables the Belt-Minder® feature for that seating position, if it is currently disabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning indicator flashes 4 times per second for 3 seconds followed by another flash sequence of 4 times per second for 3 seconds.
