Supersticion
Did anyone ever notice that the bell that rings after the engine is turned on... rings 13 times?
If MB marketing folks read this - you may want to reconsider.

I buckle up after starting the car, force of habit, and would love to disable the rings/beeps to remind me... think this can be reprogrammed? Also the beep for the red screen showing on the dash, ie door open, needs to go, the visual warning is sufficient for me.

sticky fingers?
I thought this thread was perhaps about a failing (sticky) shock absorber or maybe removing the airbag warning stickers from the sunvisors...
....only to find that it's about superstition. Hmmm..

Yeah, I think it's not so much a ring, as some thing switching off -- I thought I've noticed that it occurs later when it's cold outside. Initially I thought it was some type of heater, but I've changed my mind since I hear it even in hot weather. Sort of a "ping" sound?

yes, it is more like a ping sound than a ring. sort of fades out instead of just turning off. i actually like it. not too loud to get annoyed, yet very intriguing that i concentrate on listening for it.

that's on my laundry list for the A service. I'm a habitual seatbelt wearer - I don't even drive around the parking lot without them on. But when I get in the car, the first thing I do is crank the engine, then fish for the belt, plug in the V1, etc... The warning beep makes my blood curdle. It's not even a pleasant chime like in a Buick (ick!). So I hope it can be disabled or I'll find a way to do it. I don't need to be reminded to wear my seatbelt, it's a habit.

Mine does not beep at all, unless you unlatch the belt with the car in motion, or unlock the wheel, etc..
The seat belt light flashes a few times on startup...then stays lit until you buckle up.
I'm wondering if the dealer turned it off, because my car was prepped for going into the showroom when it arrived...but never made it into there...I bought it
