Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minderா Feature WARNING: While the design allows you to deactivate your Belt-Minder௡, this system is designed to improve your chances of being safely belted and surviving an accident. We recommend you leave the Belt-Minder௡ system activated for yourself and others who may use the vehicle. To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the Belt-Minder௡ feature while driving the vehicle. Note: The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder௡ are deactivated and activated independently. When deactivating or activating one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this will terminate the process. 2013 MKT (mkt) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
