THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 65 NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or START position. DaimlerChrysler does not recommend deactivating BeltAlert௡. 1. With all doors closed and the ignition switch in any position except ON or START, buckle the driver's seat belt. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (engine does not need to be running), and wait for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off. 3. Within 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver's seat belt at least three times within 60 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. NOTE: Watch for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn on while unbuckling and off while re-buckling the seat belt. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the programming. BeltAlert௡ can be reactivated by repeating this procedure. NOTE: Although BeltAlert௡ has been deactivated, the Seat Belt Warning Light will continue to illuminate while the driver's seat belt remains unbuckled. Seat Belts and Pregnant Women We recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible. Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if there is a collision. 2
