How To Disable VE Seatbelt Alarm

Holdfast, this may seem like an obvious answer but put the seatbelt on? That's the general way to disable the alarm.
I have read something somewhere that you can disconnect the sensor in the seatbelt clip, not sure where it is though.

 

There is no way. But if you needed to disable it press the orange release button and hold it for a few seconds this will turn it off even when driving at speed.

 

i have heard that it can be disabled by the dealer

 

Can I ask you why you would like to disable the alarm whilst driving at speed?

 

You can disable it with a Tech 2. You just need to find a dealer or mechanic who's willing to do it for you. I have already asked my dealer and they refused. I'll find someone to do it for me one of these days though...

Yes, I recall that too, I think it was Tommo82 or Scotty but don't quote me on that.

 

+1 for this
i can see why a dealer would refuse, it's a safety thing... or one would assume that anyway...

EDIT: Just had a thought, is it malfunctioning, and thats why you wanna do it?

 

^^ I like to start moving and THEN put my seatbelt on. Also, when I arrive at the carpark at work, I take it off so I can reach out the window to swipe my access card and I like to leave it off whilst in the car park.

I ALWAYS put my seatbelt on before travelling at speed, I don't need an annoying beeping noise to tell me to do so. :bang:

 

fair enough mate, understandable and apologies if it sounded like i was having a digg at you

 

My VZ Calais seatbelt alarm doesn't start to go off until I am travelling over 20km/h. Which I believe if the vehicle is travelling faster than this whether your in the carpark, or where ever, then the seatbelt is probably a good thing to have on.

I understand under 20km/h heading up to somewhere like a card swiper etc where you have to lean out of car. I have been a passenger in a vehicle in a carpark that was hit at low speed eg approx 20km/h or just under and I can tell you that I am glad I had my seatbelt buckled instead of preparing early to exit vehicle or the like and having it unbuckled, as the jolt was still quite firm for such a low speed impact.

 

Or if your a country person and don't like wearing your seatbelt on the farm.... Often travel from paddok to paddok at over 25kmh, which is where the warning comes on...

Not as silly of an idea as you would think.

 

on a farm with a calais. sounds plausible to me.


'load they hay into the back seat, careful of the leather'

 

All good mate, no offence taken.

My frustration was at the seatbelt chime, not at you. :thumbsup:

 

Who said anything about a Calais?
He drives a SSV ute, which would also have the chime.

 

Davey - I'm with you - annoys me to tears. I do an exceptional amount of towing and drive from one end of my factory to the other to load the trailer sometimes several times a day. Further to that, in order to see I remove the seatbelt whilst reversing due to the woeful visibility caused by the VE pillars. You can turn it off on a VY (and VZ AFAIK) with at tech2 but not the VE

You'd be surprised...
I have a little Astra convertible. Red leather seats, and I'm a horse girl. With the roof down, I can fit three bales of hay in the back seat, and plenty of bags of feed.
