Does anyone know how to turn the warning beep off when you don't have seatbelt on. It's like chinese water torture!

Geordiehillbilly,
I have yet to try this but I believe it works on the disco 3, so in theory it should work on the RRS.

A very good safety device, but the beeping is so annoying (eg when moving a trailer around & need to take safety belt off).
But it can be disabled! the same system as applies to Fords works - simply turn ignition on then rapidly (within 1 min) put the safety belt in & out of the clip 9 times! On the 9th time the safety belt light will stay on for a while & then after that you still get the safety belt light but not the "beep" One caution... I don't yet know how to re-enable the "beep"  Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Cheers,

Off to try it now.....................

RRUK,
Its one of them, I always say I'll do it then only remember when I hear it the next time it happens and say to my self will do that again but then forget.
Quite confusing really.  Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Yes it works! Thank you

Yes it works, although I found I had to be sitting in the seat with the engine running. Silence is golden.............

I'll definitely be doing that in mine as I HATE being bonged at regarding seat belts, I always put mine on, but sometimes they don't give you the chance!

I might try it on my wife's Z4 too, that's got the most annoying shriek ... L319 D4 HSE

Hello,

No I dont Know how to reset, but did mention in my post on how to disable.
Must admit im happy without as even with a chinese tea for the family on the passenger seat made it go off. This was the point at which I decided it was time I hear it no more. Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Mentions re-activation



You can Deactivate the Belt Minder two ways. First, you can deactivate it temporarily for your current "run cycle", that is after you have started your car and it's still running. Second, you completely deactivate the Belt Minder so that it never reminds you again, or at least until your reactivate it...

The first method, temporary deactivation, or one time disable: After you have started your vehicle, buckle and then un-buckle your safety belt. Be sure to buckle back up.... This will disable the Belt Minder only for that ignition cycle.

The second method, permanent deactivation: There are 9 steps you need to follow to deactivate or activate your Belt Minder system. Before doing so, make sure that:
The parking brake is set.
The truck/car is in Park (automatic), Neutral (manual).
The ignition is OFF.
All doors are closed.
The driver's safety belt is un-buckled.
The parking and headlights are OFF.
Then follow these 9 steps:

Turn the ignition switch to ON, but DO NOT START.
Wait for the safety belt warning light to go OFF(1-2 minutes).
Steps 3-5 MUST be completed within 60 seconds!

Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's safety belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled.
Turn on the headlights, turn off the headlights.
Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's safety belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled.
After step 5, the Safety Belt Warning Light will be turned on for 3 seconds.

Within 7 seconds of the safety belt warning light turning OFF, buckle then un-buckle the safety belt.
This will disable the Belt Minder if it is currently enabled, or enable the Belt Minder if it is currently disabled.

Confirmation of the disabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light 4 times per seconds for 3 seconds.
Confirmation of the enabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light 4 times per seconds for 3 seconds, followed by 3 seconds with the safety belt light off, then followed by flashing the safety belt light 4 times per second for 3 seconds again.
After confirmation, the deactivation/activation of the Belt Minder procedure is complete. Brit across the Pond
