How do you turn off the seat belt alert chime?
I always wear my seatbelt, so stop with that line of questioning.
But I also carry out around a lot of wine, and sometimes I have heavy stuff on my seat, that is not a human. A 30 minute drive is bad enough but if I have to go longer distances, it's basically the worst. I can't tell if it intermittently gives up and turns off a bit, but is there any way to limit that notification?

I always wear my belt, but, when I got short seat belt extenders, they had the effect of tricking the system into thinking that the belts are always attached.
That would fix your issue, but I ended up removing the one on the passenger side because it made the car think a child was on board and cut off the passenger air bag.

When I carry wine I buckle it in. Aside from the fact that I can't stand stuff moving around when drive, I wouldn't want to risk precious cargo.
On the first point, how can people drive around with things that slide around, or dangle from the mirror? That'd drive me nuts. Some may say that's a short drive, but why risk it?

I take my cat to the vet once in a while and I always buckle the carrier in with the belt through the carry handle.
Not just to prevent the annoying ding ding ding of the seatbelt warning but mainly to protect the puddy tat in case I have a prang although my last prang was over 38 years ago.

As I recall, there were instructions in the manual as to how to disable the nanny-chimes...I definitely remember finding them in the manual for other vehicles, including some older Jaguar products. Admittedly, I generally just disable the driver's side chime. While I may choose to flaunt Texas law, I typically expect my passengers to be belted as an unbelted passenger is a quick invite for a chat at the side of the road. Seat belt by itself with a solo passenger will generally NOT get such a conversation in my part of the Great State...

Start the car while belted in and leave in park. Unbuckle and re-buckle your seatbelt approximately 10 times as quickly as possible. You will hear a chime and the seatbelt warning chime and light are disabled. You can re-set the warning light and chime by following the same procedure.
