How to Set Up the Seat Belt Reminder Elimination in Outlander?
2 Answers
The method to eliminate the seat belt reminder in Outlander is: simply fasten the seat belt correctly. The seat belt reminder system consists of sensors that detect unfastened seat belts and a two-stage signal to alert the driver, designed to remind occupants to use seat belts. The function of the seat belt is to instantly tighten during a vehicle collision or when emergency braking is applied, securing the occupant firmly in the seat to prevent secondary collisions. The Outlander is a compact SUV under GAC Mitsubishi. Taking the Outlander 2020 2WD Comfort 5-seater as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4705 mm, width 1810 mm, height 1710 mm, with a wheelbase of 2670 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 63 liters.
I just helped a friend set up this feature on the Outlander. It's adjusted through the dashboard settings menu. First, start the vehicle but don't drive off. Hold the button on the left side of the steering wheel for a few seconds to enter system settings, use the scroll wheel to switch to the "Safety Alerts" option, then locate the seatbelt reminder settings. Here you can choose to completely disable it or only disable the passenger reminder, but it's not recommended to keep it turned off long-term as seatbelts can save lives in critical moments. Remember to save and exit after setup. If you can't find the option, Chapter 5 of the vehicle manual has detailed illustrations, or you can visit a Mitsubishi service center to have technicians assist with the check. I always remind everyone that seatbelts are basic protection - disabling the reminder makes it easy to forget to buckle up. Last time on the highway, I almost had an accident during emergency braking - it's really not worth the risk.
