Ummm buckle up? j/k

Sit in the vehicles drivers seat with passenger seat empty. Doors closed. Turn ignition to on (press start/stop button without foot on brake). While seatbelt light is illuminated, buckle the belt, once the light goes out, unbuckle, wait for light to come on, buckle up again. repeat this 8 or 9 times and you will get a confirmation tone.
This method is untested as such on the XF so let me know if that works.
To enable would be repeating the above procedure. It will not disable the light.

 

sounds like you'll get some kind of a workout also (a double benefit) lol

 

Buckle up..I don't want my tax dollars paying to hose your splatteredfaceoff the *** end of someone else's car you rear ended....You obviously have more money than sense..get achauffeur.


FJT..I wouldn't have told how to disable it...

 

Don't get youself all upset Dennis. In this day and age if you have to explain to someone other than a 5 year old as to why you shouldwear seatbelts it is not going to get through to them.[sm=sleeping.gif]

 

The tellng was for the chime, not the light. If it makes you feel better, just picture a deaf person driving a car. They can see the light but the chime is irrelevant. I will not tell anyone how to disable that part.

 

Suppose you guys are right..Just pisses me off that some peole can be so lame..If they don't give a **** about themselves, that's one thing..but it's the other people that will be affected as a result of their selfish actions.

okay..rant off

 

Roger that

 

Wow! Never thought I would hear a ligit reason not to wear a seatbelt. Now I have. And, Dennis, I back you 100%.

 

OK Thats fine in a police cruiser but if your talking about your own vehicle and you are off dutyNO (unless you are Dirty Harry)

 

This method doesn't seem to work in the XF. After about four or five sequences of buckling with the chime and unbuckling when it stops, the chime stops period, so you don't get to the 8 or 9 iterations nor do you get a tone.
This does work in the S Type, but anyone know the secret to the XF?

Using an XF as an undercover car??...WTF..Don't they give you Crown Vics or something like that?

 

isnt that what you wanted..? no chime.. did it for a customer today.. worked on the 7th buckling.. no more chime

 

Yes. But sorry my post was unclear. What I meant was that the chime stopped while doing the procedure so I wasn't able to get past four or five unbuckle/buckle sequences. But, the chime then resumed it's contant ringing afterwards when the car was started and driven if the belt wasn't fastened.
If you've done it on an XF and it worked, I'll try it again and see.

 

Tried again; it worked fine/ Thanks.

 

I just did this on my 2018 F Type. It worked. Ten year old thread, how about that?

I back in to my parking place at work and my garage at home and just feel restricted with the seat belt on while turning backwards. Hate those chimes. Thanks FactoryJaguarTech.

 

I think this is suppose to be a technical forum. If your so morally affected maybe you should call Dr. Phil.

Thanks FJT

 

does not work on Jaguar XF sportbrake 2013

closed the doors, only me in driver seat, pressed the start/stop button without starting the engine (no break pedal pressed), buckle/unbuckle 9+ times, nothing.....

 

I'm going to try this- and I wear the seatbelt EVERY time I drive any car, I just don't need reminding of it and I hate all that nanny crap. When I get home, I look in my mailbox, get out and collect my mail, then have to listen to the stupid beeping whilst I drive the remaining 50 yards up my driveway.
