So sayeth the mighty repair manual... your mileage may vary... items are sold by weight and not by volume, so settlement may have occured during shipment... professional driver on a closed course, do not attempt... etc., ad nauseum. This is not to be construed as legal advice, if you need real legal advice, consult a real lawyer....they need the money!
I alway fasten my seat belt.Did you know that my dad says that there is a little motor in the seat so when you crash instead of the seat belt just locking it lock you and pulls you back. You should thank p4cruiser cause he is my dad and he told me that.
I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about in getting hte ODO/Trip display to ODO with no numbers being displayed. Do you turn the ingnition switch to off very quickly when you get to the ODO display mode? Any news on whether this kind of procedure works on the drivers side seat belt?
I like my 93 FJ80 where all I have to look at is the seat belt indicator light on the dash to know I need to fasten it. Hopefully we can get the FJC to do the same.

Call me stupid but I finally figured this out. I was trying to make this work for the passenger seat belt while executing the instructions from the DRIVERS SEAT. When I looked in the owners manual, it shows these instructions for both drivers and passenger front seat belt alarms/buzzers. The passenger seat belt buzzer settings can only be changed when you have someone sitting in the passenger seat. The drivers seat belt buzzer can be changed as well when you execute the instructions from the drivers seat.
With the B-Off setting configured, the drivers seat belt buzzer will only sound when you start when you first start your FJC. Subsequent buzzer sounds are eliminated by the b-Off setting. The passenger buzzer is eliminated completely when the b-Off setting is in place.
Happy cruising.

Rover, I owe you a beer. I followed the manuals instructions several times without success. Your's worked first time. Now how do you change the radio's display colors? Get that one right and I'll bet you can tell us the secret to getting lower gas prices.

That's in the manual. With Radio off, hold text button until text appears. Turn radio on turn small knob on right of radio to scroll through colors.
I have the stock stereo and not the upgraded 6disc player. The color is orange. I tried to change the color, but was unable to. I turned off the radio, then press the text button and held it. It never came on. Checked the manuel and it says it only works with the type 2 stereo? hmmm. Did get the seat belt chime to turn off after 2nd try using RoverGMs instructions. Thanks!

One minor problem. When I lace my briefcase weighing about 20 lbs. on the passenger seat, sometimes it activates the annoying "fasten your seatbelt" beeper. Is it supposed to be this sensitive?
I had a similar problem- The way I take care of it is by drinking 5 beers. Works every time. Only its not a breifcase- for me its a twelve pack that sets it off.
