I found a setting in the instrument cluster that will enable you to disable the seatbelt chime completely. With DAS, you must go into the instrument cluster settings and it's there. I will try to take a picture of it. Also, I have my passanger seat belt setting turned on. Now if someone sits there without a belt, it will pop up in the instrument cluster breifly. If no one sits there, no warning. If you set it to Europe, the belt chime beeps continously untill you wear a belt!!!!!!

Great news. Looking forward to that info.

Sunman your instrument cluster travels the world .....

When you didn't wear a seat belt in my mom's old mustag, it would keep beeping at you. haha

wdawg

haha. I remember a long time ago.. Someone wanted to disable
this and that person got FLAMMED soo bad for it..

I'm one of that person's that want to disactivate that F@£§§£ thing...

It beeps a lot and its anoying when we want to drive only for some little time.

My dealer sayed that was not possible to desactivate

SUNMAN, I just want to set it to pop up in the instrument cluster, not beeping, so I set it to US mode or what??

CitronC230K_03

put on your seatbelt before you start the car!!!

According to the US stats, most accidents happen within 1 mile from the driver's home (which would be 1.6 km). Don't think things are too much different where you live. So figure yourself how safe you are during those short trips. On the other hand, I am surprised to find someone outside the U.S. who is lazier than Americans

plus airbags wont deploy if your not wearing your seatbelt.

gaiex

thats what my father do sometimes when he travel with me (for short trips)


The reallity is much different, the roads and traffic are not the same (specially in my city)

If you guys heard that thing beeping you understand my needs!!!

Brunelleschi

There was more than once....but one of those times it was me. I flammed right back!

Narcissus

I think I'm gonna ask my dealer to change it to Europe mode. I'm tired of reminding my GF to put her seat belt on, she nevers puts it on for short trips, let's say I have to drive her to ger her nails done (Cuz she ain't drivin' my baby) she won't put the belt on, even after a 92$ ticket...

chicks.... I want da beep, and I want it LOUD!!

Oil Change

I drove my car yesterday without seatbelt for the first time ever. And I was amased that I didn't get any warning message AT ALL. And my car is set on the european mode i believe.
weird.

wdawg

haha... I'm glad I ain't getting flammed for being a lurker

kokketiel

I do not believe this to be a true statement.

...and it would be pretty surprising, because the original purpose for airbags was to protect people who would/did not buckle up.

taylor192

Could you post the setting. I have Service B this week and would like this disabled.

SUNILP

I will go to my friends place sometime and take pictures while the DAS is hooked up to my car. That will make it eaiser. I can't remember the exact steps.

CitronC230K_03

ill ask steve to do that for me when he installs UHI. im already having him activate PTS, do the mexico with UHI setting (im going to miss my netherlands setting). thanks sunil, those pics will come in handy. alot of dealers need those exact steps, it would be too much of an effort on their part to search a little while they are hooked up to the car.

Outland

What's PTS?

CitronC230K_03

PTS = parktronic

ThemisN

Does anyone know where this setting is? I recently brought in my w211 and they say it cannot be deactivated.. I have a w203 coming in as well that i will prob also do this change..

Thanks guys..

You need DAS to change the settings. Buttons on the Instrument Cluster by themselves won't get you there. There are many more toys programmed on an MB than people think, but the only way to access these features (or turn them off) is to hook it up to the DAS.

Would recommend to SUNMAN and others to publish a list of different features that can be added/removed to the W203/CL203 via DAS, and the corresponding country settings (Netherlands, Mexico, Europe, etc...) Maybe on installuniversity.com or something.
