You should always be wearing your seat belt. But I uderstand that sometimes, when you are going to the grocery store on the corner of your street, you do not want to be reminded to wear you seat belt. Anyways, here you go. To reactivate the seat belt reminder, just redo these steps in the same order.
There are 9 steps you need to follow to deactivate or activate your Belt Minder system. Before doing so, make sure that:
- The partking brake is set.
- The car is in Park(automatic), Neutral(manual).
- The ignition is OFF.
- All doors are closed.
- The driver's safety belt is un-buckled.
- The parking and headlights are OFF.
- Then follow these 9 steps:
1- Turn the ignition switch to ON, but DO NOT START.
2- Wait for the safety belt warning light to go OFF (1min)
Steps 3-5 MUST be completed within 60 seconds!
3- Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's safety belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled.
4- Turn on the headlights, turn off the headlights.
5- Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's safety belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled.
After step 5, the Safety Belt Warning Light will be turned on for 3 seconds.
Within 7 seconds of the safety belt warning light turning OFF, buckle then un-buckle the safety belt.
This will disable the Belt Minder if it is currently enabled, or enable the Belt Minder if it is currently disabled.
Confirmation of the disabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light 4 times per seconds for 3 seconds.
Confirmation of the enabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light 4 times per seconds for 3 seconds, followed by 3 seconds with the safety belt light off, then followed by flashing the safety belt light 4 times per second for 3 seconds again.
After confirmation, the deactivation/activation of the Belt Minder procedure is complete.
There you go,
it's easier than it seems.
