Reasons given... Consider...
⬙I was in a hurry⬙ Prime time for an accident. BeltMinder娂
reminds us to take a few seconds to buckle up.
⬙Seat belts don’t
work⬙
Safety belts, when used properly, reduce risk of
death to front seat occupants by 45% in cars,
and by 60% in light trucks.
⬙Traffic is light⬙ Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle
crashes, many when no other vehicles are around.
⬙Belts wrinkle my
clothes⬙
Possibly, but a serious crash can do much more
than wrinkle your clothes, particularly if you are
unbelted.
⬙The people I’m
with don’t wear
belts⬙
Set 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.
⬙I have an airbag⬙ Airbags offer greater protection when used with
safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to
inflate in rear and side crashes or rollovers.
⬙I’d rather be
thrown clear⬙
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⬙.
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the
BeltMinder娂 chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the
risk of injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the
BeltMinder娂 feature please follow the directions stated below.
One time disable
If at any time the driver/front passenger quickly buckles then unbuckles
the BeltMinder娂 feature for that seating position, the BeltMinder娂 is
disabled for the current ignition cycle. The BeltMinder娂 feature will
re-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姟 feature
The driver and front passenger BeltMinder娂 are
deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/activating
one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this will
terminate the process.
