For the seat belt chime check your owners manual. It has instructions to turn it off.
There is also instructions to turn off the auto lock in the manual. I don't have my manual with me or I would explain.
Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an
ignition ON cycle, the BeltMinder will be disabled for that ignition
cycle only.
