Deactivation 

WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure in this article, refer to Safety Warnings in HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: The driver Belt-Minder® is deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/activating one seating position, do not buckle the other position.
NOTE: Clear any message center warnings that are present before and throughout the procedure.
NOTE: This procedure will only disable the audible  seatbelt minder. If the seatbelt buckle is fastened then unfastened while the vehicle is running, the seatbelt warning message will stay on and the seatbelt warning indicator will continue to flash until the warning system times out. It is not possible to clear the warnings. The My Vehicle screens cannot be navigated until the seatbelt warning system times out.
