Seating and Safety Restraints • the driver's safety belt is unbuckled • the parklamps/headlamps are in the OFF position (If the vehicle is equipped with Autolamps, this will not affect the procedure) While the design allows you to deactivate your BeltMinder௡, this system is designed to improve your chances of being safely belted and surviving an accident.
