Disable seatbelt chime?

[Maquis]

There is a toggle in the center screen for the horn honk and the seatbelt chime defeat procedure is detailed in the manual. I did both.

Folks should be aware that the seatbelt chime disable only stops the persistent, ongoing chiming. AFAIK, the seatbelt chime on startup can’t be disabled.

I tried this with no luck today. I could not get the seatbelt light to switch back on to indicate step 3 was complete. Is there some trick to this? "Moderate" is such a subjective term I'm wondering if I was going to fast, but I tried doing it slower and slower, but got frustrated and quit.

Were you sitting in the seat while performing the procedure?

I was in the opposite seat. Kinda facepalming that I didn't consider that might be part of the equation.

I went the same route you did, then I tried sitting in the seat in question, right passenger and right rear passenger, it was a bit tricky reaching forward to actuate the start button while planted in the rear, but I got these seats configured to the off mode.

This is an important step.

This is an important step.

Yet not documented in the manual.

Hmm... I 'hear' you there. It is a bit annoying. Although when hauling Grandma around and she unbuckles in the back seat on the highway because she wants to adjust it, I would rather know.

However, while we may be able to make that choice, I think the dealer should be on a 'we won't do that for you' stance because it is a safety measure. Turning it off for you could make them liable for anything nasty that might come out of having done it and the owner turning off their brain.

The hood thing though, that would be a nice one to turn off.

Seatbelt chime disabling has to be done for each position. I only disabled the driver’s position.
