Having spent ages trying to get the warning chime disabled by inserting and releasing the drivers buckle 10 times, I realised that you need to take it slowly!
You have to wait for the seatbelt warning symbol to appear and disappear on the dashboard each time. Don’t do it too fast. On the 10th time, you hear a chime and it’s disabled. To re enable, do the same. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy |

Did you try open and close ten times? Just as with seat belt.
Only guessing. |

Does this disable it "permanently"? Also do you still see the seats in the dashboard view turn red if someone does not have their seatbelt on? I just want to get rid of the incessant chimes. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE, Eiger Gray, Black Folding Fabric Roof

I don’t know about the lights for the passenger seats as I’ve never had a passenger in mine, but for the driver at least the warning light still comes on just without the annoying chime. The effect is permanent so far.

Or go to the breakers and get a couple of clips for a quid like I did

Surely it’s easier to clip the seatbelt up as normal without anyone sat in the seat and sit over it?

It’s not permanent. Can be reversed by Doing the same procedure. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

Thx. Gareth,
Works like a charm, my wire haired dachshund can now sit on the passenger seat without a chime regularly. Very happy !

When I worked at the Land Rover Experience, South East, one of my fellow instructors got a verbal warning that came down direct from Land Rover for telling a Customer how to turn off a "vital safety system".
He never did it again! Cheers Don. |

Does it matter which seat you do this on? Does it have to be the seat that is giving the warning? 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE, Eiger Gray, Black Folding Fabric Roof |

I have been trying this for probably 30 times now and still can't get it to switch off
 I've tried it slow like Gareth mentions, waiting for the light to come on but no luck, I've tried it with the ignition on, with the car started, with the door opened, with the door closed  I'm sure my neighbours are wondering what I'm up to sitting in the car taking the seatbelt in and out
So to those who have managed to switch the sound off, how did you do it? Ignition on or engine running? Door open or closed? Colour of socks at the time it worked?  Cheers Ian
