Belt-Minder® Deactivating/Activating: Deactivating/Activating

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position (do not start the engine).
    • For vehicles with push-button start, push the start/stop switch and release quickly, do not attempt to start the engine.
  2. Wait approximately 1 minute until the safety belt warning indicator turns off.
  3. NOTE: Complete Step 3 within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning indicator turns off.
    NOTE: Buckle and unbuckle the safety belt at a moderate rate. If the safety belt buckle/unbuckle/buckle sequence is carried out too quickly, the Restraints Control Module (RCM) can fail to recognize one of the sequences and the procedure must be repeated.
  4. To disable the seating position, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 3 times, ending in the unbuckled state.
    • After Step 3, the safety belt warning indicator illuminates for 3 seconds then turns off.
  5. Within 7 seconds of the indicator turning off, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt.
