Our old Explorer had the sequence to disable the seatbelt chime in the owner's manual. Didn't find it for a while after we got it, but implemented it as soon as I did

Mighty Max has no seatbelt alarm.
Win for Mighty Max.

You guys do a lot of driving without a seatbelt?

Yeah. Not on the road, and nothing over about 10 mph.

[Rupert]

I just clip the seatbelt in around the back of the chair.

I think the Miata's seatbelt chime is wired to the airbag weight sensors in the seat, because when I pulled the seat out and replaced it with a bucket seat and a harness I didn't get a chime at all.

Wouldn't it be simpler just to buckle it around you?

[Eye of the Tiger]

But then you'd be trapped in the seat

Not if I'm getting in and out of the car every 45 seconds.

That's how it is in my car.  I also no longer have an operational chime.

Not if you're offroading.

Uh, no, that's an excellent time for a seatbelt.

Nope, I always wear my seatbelt when I drive. But I'm just annoyed by chimes/bell sounds easier than most people. I didn't understand why I had to have my seatbelt on immediately after starting the car. Especially in the winter when I'd start the car and give it a minute before going anywhere.

[Soup DeVille]

It's always been he "door open with the ignition on" chime that drives me nuts.

Lame

There's a chime in the Explorer that goes off if any of the key is even just the littlest tippiest bit touching the ignition. So aggravating. Just inspires me to put the key where I am less likely to remember it.

I always have mine on unless I'm just putsin along on the power line or whatever. I'm so habitual about wearing it that I don't need a stupid annoying chime. It doesn't even give you a chance...if your belt ain't buckled before you turn the key, it's gonna beep at you instantly.

Drove to Wisconsin for my buddy's bachelor party over the weekend. Myself and another friend went down together in Tacoma. With us, our clothes, and gallons worth of beer, we got 22.3mpg on the way down. I was surprised.  Took a different route back with less freeway and more hills and got just over 20mpg.

I hate wearing a seat belt when I'm offroading.

Same.  I love the feeling of hitting the trail and taking my seatbelt off and the added movement freedom feels good and is useful when you need to move around more to keep an eye on obstacles or clearance and stuff.  Since most of my offroading is just cruisin' around not being a goon, I prefer not having a belt.  60mph in traffic?  Fuckin' right I'm wearing my seatbelt.  10mph on a powerline?  Take that thing off.

What if you roll over?

[giant_mtb]

What if you roll over?

If you're off road and in a situation where you may potentially roll, you put it on.  Once you're clear, you can take it back off and enjoy the ride.  Takes 2 seconds to buckle or unbuckle your seatbelt.

[AutobahnSHO]

off-roading to me is rarely <20mph

so seatbelt on plz

[SVT666]

I wear it in those situations, but I rarely put myself in those situations.  I like the added freedom to look for obstacles etc.  Also hitting bumps and having the seatbelt lock up sucks.

I think they call that rallying... not offroading.

[Rupert]

Depends.

Hitting a bump and whacking your noggin on the roof also sucks.

Lots of headroom in trucks. I have only hit my head two or three times, but seatbelts lock up constantly.

Yeah, the lockup is super annoying. I've yet to smack my head on the roof of just about any vehicle.

Done that lots with the seatbelt on too.
