One Time Disable; Deactivating/Activating The Beltminder Feature - Ford Explorer Sport-Trac Manual Del Usuario

Seating and Safety Restraints
Reasons given...
"I have an airbag"
"I'd rather be thrown clear"
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a latchplate
into the buckle to avoid the BeltMinder chime. To do so may
adversely affect the performance of the vehicle's air bag system.

One time disable

If at any time the driver/front passenger quickly buckles then unbuckles
the safety belt for that seating position, the BeltMinder is disabled for
the current ignition cycle. The BeltMinder feature will enable during the
same ignition cycle if the occupant buckles and remains buckled for
approximately 30 seconds. Confirmation is not given for the one time
disable.

Deactivating/activating the BeltMinder feature

The driver and front passenger BeltMinder are
deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/activating
one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this will
terminate the process.
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.
Note: The driver and front passenger BeltMinder features must be
disabled/enabled separately. Both cannot be disable/enabled during the
same key cycle.
The driver and front passenger BeltMinder features 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)

Consider...
Airbags offer greater protection when
used with safety belts. Frontal airbags
are not designed to inflate in rear and
side crashes or rollovers.
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".
