One Time Disable; Deactivating/Activating The Beltminder Feature - Mercury Mariner 2006 Manual De Instrucciones

Seating and Safety Restraints
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a latchplate
into the buckle to avoid the BeltMinder chime. Buckling the
belt affects (and may prevent) frontal and side impact air bag inflation
and will increase the risk of injury in an accident. To disable
(one-time) or deactivate the BeltMinder feature please follow the
directions stated below.

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.
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)
• The gearshift is in N (Neutral) (manual transmission)
• The ignition switch is in the OFF position
• The driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled
While the design allows you to deactivate your BeltMinder , this
system is designed to improve your chances of being seat belted
and surviving an accident, and we recommend you leave the
BeltMinder system activated for yourself and others who may use the
vehicle. To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the
BeltMinder feature while driving the vehicle.
