Driver seat warning

[berty2401]

Hi there, I have a VY Exec S1 2003 and when I leave the engine running with no one in the drivers seat, a warning sound starts beeping.
The front passenger has to engage the drivers seatbelt to make it stop.
Can anyone tell me how to disable this?
I have a VY S2 2004 and it doesn't have this warning

I'm not sure if it can be disabled or not but thats there for 2 reasons, 1 to let you know that the car is still running (quite obvious) and the other is to let you know yo are not wearing your seatbelt while the car is running.

My suggestion, wear your seatbelt

Yea, after a certain period of time with no seat belt on the seat belt reminder comes on. Some models have that for passenger seat too. Disabling it involves dodging up the wiring in the seat belt connector. Wouldn't recommend it!

Thanks guys. It's just a pain for when you have to run into the shops to get something, leave the car running cause it's stinking hot and you don't want the mrs to get cooked. But then she hates this blasted warning going off.
Cheers anyway

so do the right thing and slap her , maybe try and make it a habit to buckle the seat before you leave...wold get very annoying though, or yeah she can just buckle it herself while your get and make sure it's un buckled ready for you to get back in...

the warning can be disabled using a tech2, dealers usually wont do it unless its for the police, as requested by GM

or...just go get a broken seat belt and take off the buckle, and use that while your not in the car...

berty2401, just turn up the volume she wont be able to hear it then!

I was going to tell you about the tech 2, but since most places wont do it it's a bit useless, if it gets really annoying You can just connect the wires coming from the seat belt connector together, but that will mean you'll never be warned if you dont have your seat belt on!

Thanks again for your replies. Maybe next time I'll tell the mrs to get out and I'll sit in the AC comfort.
hehe

A sure fire way to get your wheels pinched. Also believe it is illegal in some States to leave a vehicle unattended with keys in it and or engine running.

His missus is in the car so it wouldnt be illegal, I do the same thing, however I just buckle the seat belt as I leave and get my missus to lock the door Pain in the ass, but the missus could be more of one if I take the keys and leave her to roast in the Darwin heat

Pathetic, how we need to be that careful these days...What happened to the times when you could leave your house and car unlocked no matter where you where

Thats easily fixed - send the missus into the shops while you sit in the nice cool car

[Calaber]

The chime isn't all that loud - how sensitive is your missus' hearing?

Those times still exsist, just not where you live

I'm only 20, and I can remember when I could walk down the street in Jeparit, and if it was raining, go "Oh, that's so-and-so's car, I'll just sit in that until it dies down".
First home buyers grant took care of that though, once ex-cons found out they could get change for their new houses there. Now I'm not even game to take my car there

I've left my car unlocked a few times windows down at MY house in broady also "Accidently" left the back doors open/unlocked a few times...

But I wouldn't trust my car in a street or shopping centre anywhere without making sre it was locked and secure I've even been known to take a few fuses out depending on how long away from the car I'll be, JUST in case

cheapest fix is get your mrs some earplugs
