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.
