kabz77 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Does anyone know how you can switch off the seat belt warning bleep permanently on the Fiesta Mk7? I dont want to leave the seat belt clipped into the tensioner 24/7 and I can't find a salvage place that sells the seat belt clip. I heard that theres a plug underneath the seat that I can just unplug, is this true and will this cause the cars ecu/canbus any problems?

mark t Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Why would you? Unless you want to break the law! Just drive slowly, seriously, if you drive slow, you can do it, I have on a showground moving my car to the car park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Is it not covered under the warning/information chimes section of the menu? And why is it on anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewL Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I just wear my seatbelt. It can be annoying if you're just moving the car a few meters but it's for your own good really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordpartsman Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Turn the ignition to position 2 and buckle and unbuckle drivers seatbelt 9 times. The light in the cluster will flash 3 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabz77 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Fordspartman - thanks for that. I assume position 2 is the position before the engine comes on. Do I assume the passenger one will also stop bleeping. Please note, I know its reckless of me to not wear the seat belt but I'm of the thinking when I'm doing local driving at 20/30mph not wearing the seat belt isn't a big deal but its always strapped on whenever I'm on dual carriageways or motorways. Before the emails start flying over, I admit I'm stupid but its something I wont ever change. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark t Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 If you have a start button, is position 2, actually position 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 but I'm of the thinking when I'm doing local driving at 20/30mph not wearing the seat belt isn't a big deal I still wouldn't want my head going through some glass/in to the dashboard at 20/30mph!

On private roads like our estate at work then its ok, but I always do! it's not my driving, its others you need to be aware of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just insert the passenger buckle in the drivers lock? Easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amie07 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah who are we to judge and each to their own, but I do hope u don't have any children as you aren't being very responsible or setting a good example. Also if u pull up sharp at 30, granted u may not go flying through the window but you'll probably end up with a sore head. but guess u know that anyway.

You do realise that the footage you see of car crash tests are generally conducted at 25mph, don't you? Why would you ever choose to not put your seatbelt on?

johnrichardson Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 that seat thing looks like great fun! i want a go of one haha! but oh a serious note, yeah your an idiot mate, like someone said earlier it makes no difference how safe you drive, its the other people on the road that can cause the biggest risks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCJ Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Enjoy the £60.00 fines... Just make sure you dont pass these bad habits to anyone younger... As much as i didnt want to comment, its 1. Ridiculous 2. Irresponsible With all these people mentioning its everyone elses driving you need to think of, thats true to an extent, but how do you think the driver you hit/who hit you would feel once they see you hanging through the windscreen? Wether you/they are the cause... your death will always be on their conscience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 They should put someone on that sled without the belt to demonstrate what really happens. Suppose it goes to show why cups of coffee come with lids - think how much you'd spill on your lap and burn yourself if you stop suddenly at 4mph whilst holding one and driving!

mark t Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I never do it, but tried it, and it works, mine no longer beeps! Does it do it for all seats? As I always have mine on, it's others, who don't/are slow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grin factor Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I wrote the wifes car off in October last year when an idiot pulled out from a row of parked cars, hit my front wing/wheel pushing me into metal railings. I was only doing 30, and walked away, could have been much different if not wearing the belt. But the choice is yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
