Belt-Minder® Deactivating/Activating

NOTE: The driver and passenger seat Belt-Minder® deactivating/activating can be carried out using the scan tool.

NOTE: If you are using a MyKey® programmed key, the Belt-Minder® cannot be disabled and does not time out after 5 minutes. If the Belt-Minder® has been previously disabled, it is re-enabled when a MyKey® programmed key is used.

NOTE: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder® are deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/activating one seating position, do not buckle the other position.

Apply the parking brake before deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder®.
Place the gear selector lever in PARK (P).
Place the ignition in OFF.
Unbuckle the driver and front passenger safety belts.
Place the ignition in RUN (do not start the engine).
Wait until the safety belt warning lamp turns off (approximately 1 minute).
NOTE: Step 7 must be completed within 60 seconds after the safety belt warning indicator turns off (Step 6).

For seating position to be disabled, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 3 times at a moderate rate, ending with the safety belt in the unbuckled state.

Within 7 seconds after the air bag warning indicator turns off, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt at a moderate rate.
- 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 3 seconds with the safety belt warning indicator off, followed by another flash sequence of 4 times per second for 3 seconds.
After confirmation, the deactivation/activation procedure is complete.
