NOTE: Only one side (driver or passenger) can be enabled/disabled per ignition switch cycle. While programming the driver side, any activity on the passenger side terminates the programming sequence. While programming the passenger side, any activity on the driver side terminates the programming sequence.
NOTE: The programming sequence terminates if a system fault occurs that requires the illumination of the safety belt, or air bag warning indicator at any time during the programming or confirmation.
