Rear Seat Belt Warning

[jakeellis01]

I understand rear seat belt warnings are for safety, but in my country, they're not legally required in the back. Could you please advise if there's a way to disable the warning when someone is sitting in the rear seats?

I don't think so. But is it really a chore for them to wear them? In the event of an accident your front seat passengers occupants may be eternally grateful.

Funny how we rarely bothered about this in the UK before it was mandated.
I now consider myself better educated so I'd never allow a rear passenger to go unbelted regardless of the law.

If you really don't want to use the rear seat belts, get some of those clips that plug in to the socket which prevents the warning. You can get them on AliExpress, Amazon might have them too.

We now leave the seatbelts plugged in all the time because our dog was triggering the warning beep when moving around on the back bench.

This was the ad that did it for us the in the UK!

That's exactly what I had in mind. ?

I remember that ad too.

I was thinking of exactly the same thing!

Sorry but am I missing something here?? Your car comes with rear seatbelts. The warning system in the car alerts when someone is in a rear seat and hasn't clipped in the seatbelt. The rear seatbelts are there for the safety of rear seated passengers. And you want to know how to avoid using the seatbelts and stop the alerts, alarms by not using the seatbelts!! Sheesh.

And the safety of the people in the front seats! (see the video above if you haven't already).

I've driven in Malta. Kappara junction roundabout (which now seems to have a flyover making it much safer) was the scariest junction I've ever faced.
