Removing selt belt warning???

[orangesuburban]

has anyone gotten this to work on an 07???? ive tried and cant get it to work... you have to turn the key to the on position to get the screen to show anything, not the acc like it states. when you turn it to the on position while holding the button the odo setting shows all lines and flashes in a count down pattern, when its done it shows all 0's then shows normal... is it different on a n 07/ can it be done on an 07!?!!??!

Although I do believe the seatbelt warning is a great feature for those who forget to put on their seatbelt (of which I know several who do), it gets annoying real quick when temporarily take off the seatbelt. Once you have thoroughly warned anyone that may remotely use your car to put on their seatbelt, use this procedure to turn off that beep.

Step 1: First make sure the "lifetime" odometer reading is on and not Trip A or B. Than put the key in the ignition. While holding down the odometer button, turn the key to "ACC"

Step 2: Hold the odometer button for about 10 seconds.

Step 3: Than click the seatbelt into place while still holding the odometer button.

Step 4: The odometer reading should change to read "B-OFF".

I've got a sure fire way to do it in two seconds...Fasten your seat belt. [shrug]Maybe I'm alone here, but I've never had to undo my belt while driving. [/shrug]

thanks for the pointless post. if i want to kill myself let me, it doesnt effect you.

now, anyone know if it works on an 07? of it they realized this flaw and fixed it?

[orangesuburban]

found a more detailed write up on scion life, im gona go try it and will let you know...

It can be turned off.
1.) Power on (ignition on will do)
2.) Set trip/ODO to ODO (if its already on ODO you will have to cycle through)
3.) Power off
4.) Power on w/brake on
5.) (Within 6 seconds), press and hold the ODO for 10 seconds or more
6.) While STILL holding the ODO *after 10 seconds*, buckle BOTH seatbelts. Now release the ODO
7.) You will see in the trip display either a "b on" or "b off"
8.) Press the ODO to toggle between "b on" or b off" YOU WANT "b off"
9.) Now power off.

WORKED PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this site needs to change the write up to the second one i posted so people will actually know how to do it...

I agree in all this confusion why dont you just buckle up? Or if you get in an accident I hope you enjoy the taste of windsheilds.....

now now, i can see his point, when i cruise down my little one mile dead-end i'm only going 12 mph(gravel) so i generally like to take my seatbelt off just to be a little more comfy so i can just step out of the car. hey, some people like to do that.

[orangesuburban]

lol, thanks clayton, but no. its my vehicle, if i dont want to wear my seat belt, i wont. i can see times when that jingle can get annoying for a normal person too though... but the fact of the matter is. if your gona have a how-to, at least let it give the correct information. so either fix it, or remove it....

[claytongozoom]

yeah dude, that count down it does goes forever, and yes, it's your decision

[oneday]

[rant:]OK, I'll be that guy....because I am: It is not your choice (unless you line in New Hampshire). When you are in a wreck (whether it's your fault or not) and sustain serious injuries my (and everyone else's) insurance rates are effected. If you had just worn your f'n seatbelt, you would have walked away with a few scratches and our premiums wouldn't climb.[/rant]

[claytongozoom]

ooooook, let's not get into an argument about choice vs. law, you can discuss it until you're blue in the face, but at the end of the day all you're going to have is a bunch of anxiety, put it to bed guys.

If thats the case then you can start paying my insurance for me every month. That will be $327 please. Until then i do what i choose to
By the way thanks orange!! you rock

[traxxas42768]

I have a PPO which is opitional but the coverage is complete and outstanding. Everything is included No co pay, eye glasses up to $2000, no generic meds the whole 9. Plus i use State Farm for auto and they arent cheap but havent *****ed once when i neede them to fix my truck for wind damage that happened to it recently. Paid up in less than 2 weeks. I guess you get what you pay for.

Take Defensive Driving course. It is a statistical fact that most injury/death related vehicular accidents, involving no seatbelt use, occurs on short trips near the victims homes. It is also a proving statistical fact that a driver, when not properly belted, can loose control of the vehicle and cause injury/death to others.

The latter I have personally seen. A good ole boy lost control of his truck on the ice, fish-tailed, then disappeared from the front seat. After the truck careened out-of-control cutting across lanes of on-coming traffic and running into a brick wall, the driver popped his head up from the passenger floorboard. He had that, "How the heck did I end up over here?" look.

[traxxas42768]

Yeah and i could get hit by a bus crossing the street. If its going to happen its going to happen.

[navylife59]

That is fine for you, but what about the other people that you may involve in the accident? I personally had to fly to an African country and bring home a fallen Sailor. He was riding in the back seat w/o a seat belt when the vehicle swerved to miss a potential IED and lost control hitting a pole. He was ejected from the back seat straight thru the windshield. He would have survived with a seatbelt. Also, anything that you have loose in your hatch area, say a subwoofer enclosure, could take your head-off in a severe stop.

Just food for thought.

[traxxas42768]

I get what you are saying but what i do has little to no bearing on what passengers do if they are in my vehicle. They do as they wish unless it is a minor then they must wear a seat belt. I cannot nor will i dictate to annyone how they should live their life. If i choose not to wear a belt so be it. If someone else makes that decision based on their experience then thats fine too. I wont be responsible for being the big brother to everyone.
