Cancelling the Seat Belt Warning Chime.

Oooooh just spotted this new section of the forum & decided to jump in to be the first to post here Cool

Mind you this is a bit of a cheat, as it is really a re-posting of an entry I made in “Maintenance & Modifications” sometime ago.

But the subject does indeed qualify for “Tips & Tricks” Whistle

_______________________________________________________________________

I thought I’d write this up for anyone who wants to disable the Seat Belt Warning Chime on their Freelander 2.

The process is pretty much the same as on the Disco 3 & RRS, but when I originally tried it, I could not get it to work, but last evening I cracked it.

Simply sit in the car, turn on ignition, without starting the engine & then rapidly (within 1 min) put the safety belt in & out of the clip 10 times!

On the 10th time the safety belt light will stay on & you’ll hear a chime.

Then after that when you drive without your seat belt on you’ll still get the safety belt light but not the chiming.

If you want to re-enable the chime, just repeat the process.

What got me on my previous attempt was I only clicked the belt in & out 9 times, like you do on the D3 & RRS, but the Freelander needs 10 clicks.

For reference there’s two threads I found over on the D3 site, discussing this……..

1) http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=524

2) http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic4695.html?highlight= “You feel uneasy, as the mad scientist locks the door behind you & dissolves the key in a vat of Acid”

Its probably always welcome for newbies to be reminded of "The things you didn't know your Freelander can do" which actually is an old and well documented thread on this forum Thumbs Up
Do a search and you will find a number of other things that we have modified on our FL2's 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

This worked fine for me on my Disco 3 but I am having problems achieving it on the FL2. How do you get the ignition on with the keyless fob?

When you insert the fob the radio works but there is no warning lights etc until you press the start button.

Any help would be much appreciated.

on a manual box you put the key in and press the start button without the clutch down until the dashlights up

On the auto i presume you have to have the brake pressed Question , so i think you will have to do it with out the brake pressed Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Sorted it out with the Auto and keyless fob. Insert fob and start the car in the normal way and then stall it - the ignition lights remain on and then you can do the operation with the seat belt 10 times within the minute. Worked fine - silence is bliss!! Very Happy Stornoway Grey FL2 GS Auto

I really do not understand why you would want to drive whithout the seatbelt on as, at least for me the seatbelt is not that tight so that it is annoying.
Only case I understand is the one of a pergnant woman either driving or in the front seat.
Call me silly but I allways drive with the seatbet on FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

There are times you just need to move the car 20 feet or so and the chiming does my nut in

Not any more though! Very Happy
