General wish you could turn off the bloomin seatbelt warning thingy!

Ive just had to tke my cat to the vets, I always put him on the passenger seat in his cat carrier. Well he is a big cat and he set off the bleeping thing! I didnt wnt to put him in the back or the boot as he dont really like travelling!
Eventually it realises its not going to win and stops! but it would be a good feature to enable you to switch it off!

lucky you mine never stops ive tried it for 10 minutes before and it was torture!

But if you can disable it then it defeats the point of having it. Just clip the seatbelt in if you want it to stop.

...or put the cat in the back...problem solved!

it can be turned off by the dealer, well the menu option to turn it on and off can be turned on, then you can turn it on and off yourself

i got my passenger one turned off an its quite simple...

under the front of the seat is a little black cover - in which two wires are connected... one of them is the sensor - just unplug it!

i sometimes have my hand on the passenger sear whilst driving (dont know why lmao) and so i unplugged it

You must have a huge fat hand to set off the alarm...

...would i be right in thinking that the other one is the airbag and if you pull that one out you could find yourself in rather deep sh!t?!

what colour etc is the cable lol?

punto_matt · Jun 10, 2009

Also means that if he is driving with a passenger and has a crash there seat bag will probably not go off

Aircooledbug · Jun 10, 2009

Try explaining that to the police if you had an accident.

manthatkidisscrewed · Jun 10, 2009

lmfao you'd probably get done for manslaughter cos you couldn't prove it wasn't deliberately planned...! :doh:

tbf though, with what Fiat are like it's more than possible that they would just forget to plug it back in themselves if they ever had to do any work on it! :bang:

Aircooledbug · Jun 10, 2009

true, very true

i dont know? ive forgotten now - trial and error, plug the driver seatbelt in with the ignition on, sit on the seat and try the cables.... the one that makes the light go out wins!

i managed to pick it first time but yes i can see what u mean about the air bag.... im glad i left it in!

I do that!! - It doesnt take much on mine to set it off

I had same prob in my van when I had stuff sitting on the front seat. Go down the the breaker yard. Find a smashed GP, cut the seat belt buckle off the old seat belt in the smashed GP and put the seat belt clip black in your cars passenger seat belt holder. Thats what I did, then when you have a passenger just remove it and put the propper seat belt clip attached to the car in instead. Simple. PLUS cheap!

gd solution tbf...hadn't thought of that!

...although the obvious winner is just to use the boot...after all, that's what it's there for!

No, I have the best answer.... why the hell do you need to put animals in your car? Stick them on the roof rack!
