Reasons given...
Consider...
“Safety belts don’t
work”
Safety belts,
when used properly,
reduce risk of
death
to front seat occupants by
45% in cars,
and by
60% in light trucks.
“Traffic is light”
Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle
crashes,
many when no other vehicles are around.
“Belts wrinkle my
clothes”
Possibly, but a serious crash can do much more
than wrinkle your clothes, particularly if you are
unbelted.
“The people I’m
with don’t wear
belts”
Set the example, teen deaths occur 4 times more
often in vehicles with TWO or MORE people.
Children and younger brothers/sisters imitate
behavior they see.
“I have an airbag”
Airbags offer greater protection when used with
safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to
inflate in rear and side crashes or rollovers.
“I’d rather be
thrown clear”
Not a good idea.
People
who are
ejected are 40
times more likely to DIE.
Safety belts help
prevent ejection, WE CAN’T “PICK OUR CRASH”.
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a latchplate
into the buckle to avoid the Belt-Minder
威
chime. To do so may
adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’s air bag system
One time disable
Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an
ignition ON cycle, Belt-Minder
威
will be disabled for that ignition cycle
only.
Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder
姞
feature (if equipped)
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.
The driver Belt-Minder
威
feature can be deactivated/activated by
performing the following procedure:
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
•
The parking brake is set
•
The gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic transmission)
