Deactivating and Activating the
Belt-Minder Feature
WARNING
While the system allows you to
deactivate it, this system is
designed to improve your chances of
being safely belted and surviving an
accident. We recommend you leave
the system activated for yourself and
others who may use the vehicle. To
reduce the risk of injury, do not
deactivate or activate the system
while driving the vehicle. Note:
The driver and front passenger
warning are deactivated and activated
independently. When deactivating or
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 or
activation programming procedure.
The system can be deactivated or
activated by performing the following
procedure:
Before following the procedure, make
sure that:
• the parking brake is set
• the transmission selector lever is
in position P (automatic
transmission) or N (manual
transmission)
• the ignition is off
• the driver and front passenger
safety belts are unbuckled.
1. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT START THE ENGINE. 2. Wait until the safety belt warning
light turns off (approximately one
minute). After Step 2, wait an
additional five seconds before
proceeding with Step 3. Once Step
3 is started, the procedure must be
completed within 30 seconds.
3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt three times at a
moderate speed, ending in the
unbuckled state. After Step 3, the
safety belt warning light will turn
on.
4. While the safety belt warning light
is on, buckle and then unbuckle the
safety belt. After Step 4, the safety
belt warning light will flash for
confirmation.
• This will disable the feature for
that seating position if it is
currently enabled.
• This will enable the feature for that
seating position if it is currently
disabled.

Active guidelines are only shown with
fixed guidelines. To use active
guidelines, turn the steering wheel to
point the guidelines toward an
intended path. If the steering wheel
position is changed while reversing,
the vehicle might deviate from the
original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade
in and out depending on the steering
wheel position. The active guidelines
are not shown when the steering
wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to
your vehicle and objects in the green
zone are farther away. Objects are
getting closer to your vehicle as they
move from the green zone to the
yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get
better coverage on both sides and rear
of the vehicle.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ACTIVE + FIXED, FIXED and OFF.
Visual Park Aid Alert
Note:
Visual park alert is only available
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note: The reverse sensing system is
not effective at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h) and may not detect certain
angular or moving objects. The system uses red, yellow and green
highlights which appear on top of the
video image when an object is
detected by the reverse sensing
system. The alert highlights the
closest object detected. The reverse
sensing alert can be disabled and if
visual park aid alert is enabled,
highlighted areas are still displayed.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ON and OFF.
Manual Zoom
WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the
full area behind the vehicle is not
shown. Be aware of your surroundings
when using the manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note: When manual zoom is enabled,
only the centerline is shown.
This allows you to get a closer view of
an object behind the vehicle. The
zoomed image keeps the bumper in
the image to provide a reference. The
zoom is only active while the
transmission is in R (Reverse). When
the transmission is shifted out of R
(Reverse), the feature automatically
turns off and must be reset when it is
used again.
