Seat Belt Reminder Buzzer: Service and Repair
Belt-Minder(R) Deactivating/Activating
Preparation
NOTE: The Belt-Minder(R) deactivating/activating can also be carried out using a scan tool.
1. Apply the parking brake before deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder(R).
2. Place the gear selector lever in PARK (P) (automatic transaxle) or NEUTRAL (N) (manual transaxle).
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
4. Close all the vehicle doors.
5. Unbuckle the driver and passenger safety belts.
Deactivating/Activating
NOTE: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder(R) are deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/activating one seating position, do
not buckle the other position.
NOTE: The Belt-Minder(R) cannot be deactivated using a MyKey(TM) programmed key. The Belt-Minder(R) can only be deactivated using an
administrator key. If the Belt-Minder(R) is already disabled, driving the vehicle with a MyKey(TM) programmed key overrides the deactivation,
however, when the vehicle is subsequently operated using an administrator key, the Belt-Minder(R) once again reverts to the disabled state.
1. Place the ignition switch in the RUN position. (Do not start the engine.)
2. Wait until the safety belt warning lamp turns off (approximately 1 minute).
3. NOTE: Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning indicator turns off.
For seating position to be disabled, at a moderate rate, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 3 times, ending with the safety belt in the unbuckled
state.
-
After this step, the air bar warning indicator illuminates for 3 seconds.
4. Within 7 seconds after the air bar warning indicator turns off, at a moderate rate, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt.
-
This disables the Belt-Minder(R) feature for that seating position, if it is currently enabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning indicator
flashes 4 times per second for 3 seconds.
-
This enables the Belt-Minder(R) feature for that seating position, if it is currently disabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning indicator
flashes 4 times per second for 3 seconds followed by another flash sequence of 4 times per second for 3 seconds.
5. After confirmation, the deactivation/activation procedure is complete.
