Or you could do the smart thing and actually wear your seatbelt.

I have to because of my allergies. My face is very allergic to windshield glass. If it hits the windshield at a high rate of speed, it starts to bleed and bones break. This can be a deadly allergic reaction. lol

 

Does this really work? Seems completicated

 

I did it on my lunch brake and it worked, you just have to follow the instructions.

 

I urge anyone reading this not to do it. Please wear your seat belt anytime you are in a vehicle. I lost a couple friends in a car accident a couple years ago that may have been prevented had they been wearing their seat belts.

Yup, it works. I did it to mine the day I bought it.

 

Being a Safety Officer I will also urge everyone to wear your seatbelt. I did this because if I am working on the car and i want the door open to hear my tunes, i dont want to hear the chiming.

I wear my belt all the time, but it is annoying when working on car and it just keeps chiming and chiming. Now I can stop that chiming crap.

 

Thanks for the post. I wear mine all the time but do get tired of it dinging when I'm cleaning the car and listening to music.

Has anyone tried reversing it? I'm sure 20 years from now, I might like to show my grand kids.

 

Yeah I will do this, I wear mine all the time but its annoying when I pull in my driveway and take off my seatbelt and it just chimes.

 

Great thanks for the tip! I never wear mine, have it wrapped around the seat from behind and buckled in like that. This is much easier :TU:

 

i turned my chimer off. i always wear my seatbelt though. just did it cuz i have a really long driveway that i usually take my seatbelt off when i pull in.

 

So if u deactivate, u can still wear your seatbelt?

AMEN to that! congrat's.. you just got some rep... lol

 

I think i understand all the people wearing a seat belt, hell, it's probably the way to go (we could be here arguing about it being helpful or it actually causing more injuries esp. at certain speed) but considering i ride my 190 hp motorcycle 4-5 times a week, seat belt in the car is almost a joke.

BTW, i know A LOT of people that were in a high speed crash (horrible looking may i add) without wearing a seat belt and are still here. There is a lot of accidents were the driver is alive, because he does NOT wear a seat belt. A close friend of mine, classmate for 8 yrs was in an accident in Nissan Micra (small 2 door city car), the car was TOTALED, i used to have pics of it but i don't anymore, coz i thought what's the point, and well, the ONLY reason he's alive is the fact he was NOT wearing a seat belt. Upon the impact he got literally thrown out of the window and what a luck that was, the pictures show a MASSIVE branch from the tree came in through the windshield and penetrated the driver seat! NO WORD OF LIE! Very similar thing happened to my buddy's uncle, except there was no tree, there just wasn't a drivers side either. AT ALL. I'm absolutely 100% sure (and not just me, in both instances the cops and the medical stuff didn't want to believe the driver survived and said exactly what i'm saying) had those two been wearing a seat belt, they wouldn't be here now, both walked away with a concussion.

I really believe it's ALL about luck what happens to you when you have an accident. If the seat belt really needs to be mandatory, it should be for the passenger not the driver. I think a lot of serious internal organ injuries are caused by seat belts.

To be fair though, there was an accident in my home town when the seat belt would save a life, i just don't think there are any on the bus. A bus with young hockey players hit a car dead on, the coach who was sitting in the front row was thrown out of the bus window and got run over by another car.

I think it just proves my point. It's all about how lucky you are. I hope we all are very lucky.

 

Ah please dont do this mod folks. My brother just went down to NC last weekend for a cultural dance competition. He and the rest of his university team made it safe but one of the other universities head down there had an accident in the middle of the night thru VA. The only two people that werent wearing their seat belts were ejected thru the rear windshield when the van spun out. One young girl lost her life and the other one sustained major but not life threatening injuries. It breaks my heart to hear stories where just a simple thing like a seat belt would have saved this poor girls life.

Save your family the heartache and just wear it.

 

There will always be instances where "not wearing it saved their life" but the simple fact is that they are there for a reason. Since my friends lost their lives I will not ride with or let anyone in my car the doesn't wear a belt until they buckle in.

 

I do support the right of someone not to wear their seat-belt, but to claim seatbelts don't save lives goes against simple statistics: 17% of drivers don't wear seatbelts, yet account for 63-65% of driving fatalities... you're almost four times more likely to die from not wearing a seatbelt vs. wearing it. So anyone who thinks otherwise is speaking from emotion and not common-sense.

With that said, this is great info as that chime gets annoying when cleaning or working on my car.

I am glad to see you post this up! :TU:

 

Something else to think about.....If you get in a bad crash, the medical bills will be very high. Your insurance company can recover all information stored in the air bag deployment module, or crash data recorder as it's commonly called. They may not pay based on the thinking that you contributed to your own injuries. Remember, anything stored in that module can be recovered at a later time. (Speed, Delta V, Engine Throttle Position, Seat Belt Status, Brake Circuit Status, etc) Some Police agencies are downloading the data as a matter of routine in serious crashes.

 

Thanks, I turned off mine and my wife's durango. You either wear the belt or you don't. We all know the smart thing to do but that dammmm ringing really bugs me when I'm cleaning both.
My $0.02 worth

 

1. How do you place the ognition in the on position if you have the button

2. If you deactivate it feature, will it automatically re activate if u put your seatback back on?

 

How do you accomplish this sequence with a car that has the button as opposed to an key ignition? I cant identify what the "on" or "start" poistion is. Please help

 

The keyless ignition has Off, Acc, and Run. Run is equivalent to the On position. Just don't put your foot on the brake when the button is in the Run position or it will start the engine. Once you deactivate the chime it remains deactivated until you reactivate it. Yes, you can still wear your seatbelt.

I appreciate that. I tried it today...it didnt work. Have to try again tmrw. Thnx again
