Fasten seatbelt (Turn off seatbelt chime)

[Slab]

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?

Seat belt chime
1. Turn the ignition switch on (without starting car)
2. Press the ODO/TRIP switch until the odometer displays "ODO"
3. Turn the ignition switch off
4. Turn the ignition switch on
5. Press ODO/TRIP switch immediately (within 6 seconds after turning the power switch ON) and hold it down for 10 seconds or more.
6. Continue holding the ODO/TRIP switch and fasten the front passenger's seat belt.
7. Check that the odometer displays either "b-on" or "b-off" (it will be "b-on")
8. Press the ODO/TRIP button to change the display to "b-off".
9. Turn the ignition switch off.
10. Turn the ignition switch on while depressing the brake pedal.
11. Check that no buzzer sounds when setting on the front passenger seat.


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!

Love YA, Mean it!

Rover is God --- thank you, from all of us, who have been cringing at the sound of the damn thing, I prefer to buckle up as I'm backing up or heading out. This will do the trick.... then I'll have to look up that thread on changing the stero colors at night.

The only way I could get this to work was by inserting the following steps between #4 & 5

4a. Activate the parking sensor
4b. Turn on the radio
4c. Set the volume to 13
4d. Select the AUX audio source
4e. Lower the passanger window
4f. Open the rear door window latch
4g. Place hand over passenger side parking sensor for 5 seconds

and then continue with step 5.

Good luck!

Will this work for the driver's side as well?

Rover, thanks for confirming the exact set of steps my intuition told me to take. I don't know why I didn't just try that - it's so obvious.

YES,
But, did it Git 'er done??

[brianljohnson]

No. These steps didn't work for me. I tried this several times last night and couldn't ever get to the B-on or B-off message. That was buried in my reply of all the extra steps.

If someone gets' this to work, I'd love to hear fom them.

It did not work for me either. This is the procedure listed in the owner's manual, but they must have changed something along the way? The chime is a major PITA, if necessary I will go behind the dash to find the source.

[Slab]

It works. I did it last night. The step- "2. Press the ODO/TRIP switch until the odometer displays "ODO"", doesn't mean the numbers will disappear. Just have to put odometer off trip A or B and on odometer. Once I stop waiting for big ODO to appear, it worked.
