Belt-Minder® Deactivating/Activating: Deactivating/Activating
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
- Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position. (do not start the engine.)
- Wait until the safety belt warning indicator turns off (approximately 1 minute).
- Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 3 times, ending with the safety belt unbuckled. The safety belt warning indicator then illuminates for 3 seconds.
- 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.
- The safety belt warning indicator flashing 4 times per second for 3 seconds provides confirmation that the Belt-Minder® is disabled.
- 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
- After confirmation, the deactivation/activation procedure is complete.
NOTE:
Steps 3 and 4 must be completed within 30 seconds after the safety belt warning indicator turns off or the procedure must be repeated.
