Procedure to Activate/Deactivate Belt-Minder Seatbelt

This works on all '07 Mustangs, not sure about other model years:


  1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. Do not start the engine.


  1. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (approximately one minute).

  2. At a steady, moderate speed, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 9 times. (This step must be completed within 50 seconds of the safety belt light turning off, or else the procedure must be restarted.)


  1. The Airbag Light will turn on for 3 seconds. Within 7 seconds of the Airbag Light turning off, buckle then rebuckle the safety belt one time.

  2. The Airbag Light will flash for 3 seconds to confirm a setting change to disabled, or will flash twice for 3 seconds each to confirm a setting change to enabled.

If it's the same as the F-250, the parking brake must also be set.

So the parking brake's got to be set while driving "at a steady, moderate speed" as it says in step 3. O-Tay.

It doesn't say anything about driving in step 3.

So how would you reach "a steady moderate speed" without driving and with the parking brake on?

Replace the word "speed" with "rate" in step 3 and it might make more sense to you.

Some things will, forever, be lost on descammisados.....

The human mind is capable of inserting words where none were to be found..... of adding meaning where none was meant..... and of totally ignoring what was said and adding it's own words entirely....

Sitting at the kitchen table, I ate my lunch at a steady moderate speed..... not sure if I had the table in 2nd or 3rd gear....

Well d-oh. The point is that "speed" is more associated with vehicle movement, whereas "rate" is not.

Never mind...

At what rate was it accelerating?
