Subaru seat belt chime

[chitownwrx]

With all of the parts bin sharing involved with this car, I wonder if the never ending Impreza seat belt chime will be present? Anyone know? Or have they actually let anyone in the car with a key? :-)

Never-ending seatbelt chime? What is it that you speak of? In Toyotas you can disable the seatbelt chime; since the interior is basically all Toyota I imagine you'd be able to here, too.

I have this weird habit of putting on my seat belt when I'm driving so I know not what you speak of.

I use my seatbelt, so I don't really care.

But if it's similar to the impreza, you just have to turn the key to the ON position and then insert and remove the driver's buckle 20 times in 30 seconds to disable it.

I think everyone wears their seatbelt but I , for instance, turn on the car before buckling it so I hear the chime. Or when I need to move the car a few feet then I don't bother. Or just have the door open with the car on. I wouldn't want to hear it constantly in those situations.

agreed...I wear my seat belt all the time but I don't need the car (or anyone else) to TELL me to do it...I have yet to see a car that doesn't have a way to disable the "belt nanny"

Subaru generally uses Nissan electronics so I can pretty well guaranty it wont be the subaru chime. That means it'll be the Toyota chime, which is even worse.

This sounds like an Internet prank. Hold on, first I need to lick my iPad...

:p

(the above method may be correct, but it just sounds like something you'd tell people to do, to see if they'd do it. Try holding a rubber duck in your left hand while you operate the seatbelt with your right hand. Will that help? It'll help ME! Hahaha)

Haha, that reminds me of something ridiculous from my days in high school.

Somebody was telling a joke where you had to go through motions. So they get out a chair and somebody is like... "Okay, get into your car." The person sits down. "Start driving. You're headed down a road." Blah blah. "You run something over. You get out of the vehicle to see what it is." The person gets out of the chair and looks around. "You see it's a dead rabbit, you lean down to pick it up, and carry it to the car, sit down and you lay the rabbit across your lap." So the person kind of has a weird look on their face, but whatever, they pretend to put this dead rabbit on their lap after they sit down. "You start driving again. The rabbit's not dead. It's biting you! There's a knife on the seat next to you. Grab it and stab the rabbit repeatedly."

I'll leave it up to you to imagine what the person sitting down in the chair with a rabbit on their lap did in the presence of about a dozen people while they furiously stabbed this rabbit that was apparently nibbling on their crotch.

well in that case, in new toyotas, to seat belt chime doesn't go off until you been rolling like 50 ft

and is something so meager like a chime, really matter?

It's true. But you have to do it when the moon is only half full. Don't worry guys we are not driving around with our seat belts on. It's nice not to hear that when you have a harness on.

I'm thinking his question was not IF the chime was going to be present but what TYPE of chime would it be.
