Belt-Minder® Deactivating/Activating: Deactivating/Activating

NOTE: The Belt-Minder® cannot be deactivated using a MyKey™ programmed key. The Belt-Minder® can only be deactivated using an administrator key.

If the Belt-Minder® is already disabled, driving the vehicle with a MyKey™ programmed key overrides the deactivation, however, when the vehicle is subsequently operated using an administrator key, the Belt-Minder® once again reverts to the disabled state.

  1. Turn the key to the ON position (do not start the engine).
  2. Wait until the safety belt warning indicator turns off (approximately 1 minute).
  3. NOTE: Steps 3 and 4 must be completed within 30 seconds or the procedure must be repeated.
  4. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 3 times, ending with the safety belt unbuckled. The safety belt warning indicator then illuminates for 3 seconds.
  5. Within 10 seconds of the safety belt warning indicator illuminating, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt. This enables the Belt-Minder® if disabled, or disables the Belt-Minder® if enabled.
  6. The safety belt warning indicator flashing 4 times per second for 3 seconds provides confirmation that the Belt-Minder® is disabled.
  7. The following sequence of events confirms the Belt-Minder® is enabled:
    • flashing of the safety belt warning indicator 4 times per second for 3 seconds
    • 3 seconds with the safety belt warning indicator off
    • flashing of the safety belt warning indicator 4 times per second for 3 seconds again
  8. After confirmation, the deactivation/activation procedure is complete.
