Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. DO NOT START
THE ENGINE.

2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (Approximately 1
minute).
Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.

3. For the seating position being disabled, at a moderate speed, buckle
then unbuckle the safety belt nine times, ending in the unbuckled state.
Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.
After Step 3, the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three
seconds.

4. Within approximately seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle
then unbuckle the safety belt.

This will disable the Belt-Minder Feature for that seating position if it
is currently enabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning light will
flash four times per second for three seconds.

This will also ENABLE the Belt-Minder feature for that seating position if it
is currently disabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning light will
flash four times per second for three seconds, followed by three
seconds with the light off, then followed by the safety belt warning
light flashing four times per second for three seconds again.
I think you forgot somewhere to include the following steps but only after unbuckling nine times....

* On a full moon, sip on toad's tears with a sprinkle of sassafras pepper.
* Touch the roof of your Ranger with index finger only 4 times, the last time being the loudest
* Do all of the above in your underwear.

Hesus..who the heck came up with this procedure...someone with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder???

I hope you didn't take my recommendations seriously. If so you need to turn in your driver's license

There is this device, located to the left of the driver side seat, suspended in the air mounted to the side of the vehicle (interior). This is called a driver restraint system (or seatbelt), from the voice of a firefighter who has seen every type of automobile accident, put it on, and the dinging stops.

You are about the 100th response with that advice. If I'm working on a farm laying down fence posts or picking up hay bales and driving 10 mph...I'm not wearing the seat belt. Read the rest of this post.
