Is there any way to silence the seat belt warning when carrying builders provider products that weigh a bit in the rear / front passenger seat. The chime gets annoying after the first hour. Can probably get a fake belt clip and this is only for this scenario, never with real people. I can leave the seat belts plugged in place but this gets in the way of putting the back seats down the larger loads. Doing some building work so trying to figure out a flexible strategy.
 
My advice, don’t do it. Don’t ask me why but after 2 bags of plaster my Kia drove me crazy with random bongs on rear passenger seat. I don’t get it as a person would be heavier but hey.
 
In my MG4 my dogs (Bichon Frise) don't set off the seat detection on the rear seats. (They're connected to straps plugged in to 2 of the rear seat buckles, but may move to the 3rd seat which doesn't have a seat belt buckled in - the detection doesn't go off though). In the Corsa courtesy car I currently have, the exact same scenario causes the warning to activate. 🤷‍♂️
 
But an 18Kg dog will set it off just sometimes - not often enough for us to remember to engage the unused seat belts 🙄.
