i hate it when im sitting in a parking lot with the a/c running while im on the phone or something with my seat belt off and the buzzer keeps going off. is there anyway to bypass this? its getting annoying!

 

Yes, but the simplest way is to put your seatbelt on.....

 

yea i know...if im sitting here on a 45 min confrence call in walmart parking lot....im not going to have my seatbelt on. anyone else wanna chime in with a helpful answer?

 

Mine stops, or at least postpones quite a bit if I press in on the red seatbelt release button...

I know there is a more complex way to disable (permanently?) in the owner's manual too, but I don't have mine handy...

 

Sorry...not meaning to be a smart*ss before....

Buddy did something under his dash on his F250...but he then had other problems...

There's a couple pages on how to do this in my X Manual - I just scanned them into a PDF but can't figure out how to post it...give me an email address or fax # if you want and I will send over...

 

1. Set Parking Brake & put truck in Park.

2. Turn key to ON but do not start. Wait for the seat belt light to go off.
(NOTE: This could take 30+ seconds before the light goes off. Be patient.)

3. You have 60 seconds to complete the next task.

4. Buckle and unbuckle the seat belt 3 times ending with the belt UNbuckled.

5. Turn on the headlight and then turn them off.

6. Buckle and unbuckle the seat belt 3 more times ending with it UNbuckled.

7. Watch the dash as the seat belt light will illuminate.

8. Within 7 seconds of the light going out, buckle then unbuckle the seat belt.

You're done!

 

Mine doesn't go off when im in park with belt off, only when I **** to drive and even then it only beeps once every min or two.

 

Yep - that's what I do... just press the red 'unbuckle' button and that silences it. I never sat for 45 minutes to see if it comes back on.

 

Smart @ss! too funny.

 

He's being serious. It's in the owner's manual.

 

ditto to the above cut-n-pasted from my owners manual


Deactivating/activating the belt minder feature

To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the Belt
Minder feature while driving the vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. (DO NOT
START THE ENGINE)
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately 1–2
minutes)

ok, I guess I am the dumb @ss...

That's crazy. I take it back Monsta!

 

No worries! I suppose I have a track record of posts where the reader isn't sure if it's serious or not.

 

It just seemed too "made up" to be real!

 

ok thanks guys
