Oh By the way....
Good luck on collecting a dime of insurance money in Florida if you're not buckled up in a crash. State law exempts insurance companies from paying your injury claim if you injure your idiot self in a crash.

If you can find something thin like a knife blade you can feel around inside the belt latch and push down on the latch inside much like clicking in the belt. you can then remove the blade. It will disable the light and warning until you press on the red release button. You must hit the release button first if you decide to use the belt.

Well I was going to give my opinion but after CRANK and REALJEEP I don't know
I make my kids where them until they are grown and out of my custody then they can chose for themselves. I wear mine for 2 reasons only: 1. The Army won't pay for crap, medical or life insurance if you don't and 2. I don't want to ask my kids to do something that I won't do.
Personally, I hate the damned things, I hate somebody telling me I have to wear it (I don't wear my helmet). BUT, I don't want to leave my family broke from no insurance to replace my check or broke from having to care for my Vegitable a$$. I've seen arguments for both, but lets just say that there is a reason I have never been to Vegas

1. Seatbelts are gay!
2. Crank up the radio, (lots of bass) and the dinging goes away.

I dare any of you seat belt haters to walk in the shoes of an emergency services provider and not change your song!
Like you, I didn't used to buckle up. It used to piss me off to be told what to do by the government. But then I became a fireman... Here's what I saw:
By choosing to be dumb and not buckle up you don't just affect you but everyone else on the road that may have to pay for your stupidity. Example: you're driving down the road, hit a road gator (road hazard) and it rips a hole in your tire. Your new H3 violently pulls hard to one side ripping the wheel out of your hand because you're driving and chatting on the phone. Basic physics takes over from here if you're not strapped down. You slide into the center counsel or hit the drivers door as your torso heads for the passenger seat. You're well on your way to a bad day just because you can't stay in your seat and control your vehicle.
You're sitting at a red light minding your own business when some bonehead in a Toyota FJ Cruiser rams you from behind at 45 MPH. You...
1- Are thrown against your seat belt saving your chest from the steering wheel.
2- Bend the steering wheel with your chest and end up over the dash trying to push the windshield out with your head.
3- Get stuffed under the steering wheel and try to cram your 250 Lb frame under the dash.
4- None of the above because I'm way too tough to wear a seat belt OR get injured in a crash, I'm invincable!
I've seen it over and over again and still there are some who won't listen. You can't control your truck if you're bouncing around inside like a pinball. You can't control your truck if your head is sticking through the windshield. You can't keep your truck from hitting someone else after someone hits you if you're not strapped down!
Geeze...Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.
Sorry about the rant but look at motor vehicle crashes through my eyes and see where I've been for 23 years and you might understand.
It's not just a saying...Seatbelts not only save your life but others driving around you too!

Don't you have to do that every time you restart the car? I use my belts but I'd like to keep the red icon on the dash but defeat the bell.

Forget a screw driver or blade. I found that the H3 ignition key worked perfectly. No more bell sound. The key got stuck...but pressing the red release got the key loose. So it took a couple of trys before it all worked out.
Thanks to those who helped me realize the simplicity of the problem.

Why stop at seatbelts then? Let's pass some more laws!
1.) Fat people can't buy anything but diet food until they are no longer fat.
2.)Close down every bar and nightclub in the country. After all, you can't drink and drive.
3.)If you have a history of serious medical problems in your family, you are no longer allowed to reproduce.
4.)Outlaw smoking. It takes years off your life.
Are these good enough? Do you have any to add, or can we agree this is the U.S.A and we should all have the freedom to do what we want if it doesn't harm others. To say I have to wear a seatbelt just so you don't have to pull my dead body from the wreakage is stupid. If you have a problem with it, get a new job!

Y'all just don't understand do you? It goes WAY deeper than personal choice, if you had an ounce of understanding then you'd know that. So I give up...
There's a bible verse that applies to this:
Matthew 7:6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
If you're smart wear them. If you're not then good luck, you'll wish you had one on WHEN you crash. DUH!

as everyone else. So I think this will be my final comment on this topic. I apoligize to geeggee for going so far off topic and not answering his question.
