WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure, refer to Safety Warnings in General Information. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
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.

  2. Place the selector lever in PARK (P).
  3. Place the ignition in OFF.
  4. Unbuckle the driver and the front passenger seatbelts.
