Reasons given... Consider...
ªBelts wrinkle my clothesº Possibly, but a serious crash
can do much more than wrinkle
your clothes, particularly if you
are unbelted.
ªThe people I'm with
don't wear beltsºSet 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.
ªI have an air bagº Air bags offer greater protection
when used with safety belts.
Frontal airbags are not designed
to inflate in rear and side
crashes or rollovers.
ªI'd rather be thrown
clearºNot a good idea.Peoplewho
areejected are 40 times
more likely to DIE.Safety
belts help prevent ejection, WE
CAN'T ªPICK OUR CRASHº.
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to
avoid the Belt Minder chime. Sitting on the
safety belt will increase the risk of injury in an
accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the
Belt Minder feature please follow the directions

One time disable

unbuckled during an ignition ON cycle, BeltMinder
