Seat belt warning beep

Mine is going off constantly at the moment even when sat in my seat with my belt clipped in. Is there anyway i can turn the beep off untill i can get it booked in to fiat next week for them to look at it because it is doing my bloody head in.

Hi. Im pretty sure you cant turn it off. Have you checked the wire under the seat for damage/breaks/disconnected etc

Re: Seat belt warning beep

The only way that you can permenantly turn it off os to get the dealer to do it for you. I found it very annoying so they turned it off for me. There is some option in one of the menus but it only lasts as long as the engine is on. When you turn the engine off it resets it again,.

Re: Seat belt warning beep

It may sound obvious but you don't have anything on the passenger seat do you?

i'm not sure but they shouldnt hav done that without the DVLA's permission, it wont go off unless you wear a seat belt (apart from when it breaks lol)

Re: Seat belt warning beep

unplug it & you will still get the error as control unit will 'see' a open circuit.

Re: Seat belt warning beep

So, is it really possible to get the alarm deactivate on a new Grande Punto? Because I asked my dealer about that and she said it was impossible
