Turn off automatic driver-side window and seat belt chime?

[wrongwheeldrive]

#1 I like to ride with my windows halfway down. As you can imagine, it's a nightmare with this car as the first push takes it all the way down and if I click "up" halfway through it rolls the window all the way back up so I have to go "down" Up" "down" and hope it's at the right spot. I've heard that disconnecting the battery accidentally does it, but I feel there's gotta be a better way.

#2. How do I turn off the seatbelt chime. I read something about turning the car on to accessory and clicking-unclicking 7 times in 30 seconds. It didn't seem to work for me (I am also not quite sure what accessory mode is on a push start vehicle).

Thanks guys.

Did a little digging, and here's what I found. Let me know if it works for you.

One-Touch Down (If Equipped)
Press the switch fully and release it. Press again or lift it to stop the window.

As for the Safety Belt chime, there are 2 different ones.
The first is the safety belt warning light and indicator chime. It's described as "If the driver's safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the on position, then the safety belt warning light illuminates 1- 2 minutes and the warning chime sounds 4-8 seconds." From what I can see, there is no disable for this.
The second is the Safety Belt Minder. "This feature supplements the safety belt warning function by providing additional reminders by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning light when the driver's or front passenger's seat is occupied and the safety belt is unbuckled."

The system can be deactivated or activated by performing the following procedure:
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• the parking brake is set
• the transmission selector lever is in position P (automatic transmission) or N (manual transmission)
• the ignition is off
• the driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled.
1. Turn the ignition on. Do not start the vehicle.
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (about one minute). After Step 2, wait an additional five seconds before proceeding with Step 3. Once Step 3 is started, the procedure must be completed within 30 seconds.
3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times at a moderate speed, ending in the unbuckled state. After Step 3, the safety belt warning light will turn on.
4. While the safety belt warning light is on, buckle and then unbuckle the safety belt. After Step 4, the safety belt warning light will flash for confirmation.
• This will disable the feature for that seating position if it is currently enabled.
• This will enable the feature for that seating position if it is currently disabled.

The window information can be found on page 72, and the safety belt info is on pages 30-32 of your Owner Manual. You can find it online here: Owner Guide Page

The seatbelt chime deactivation worked like a charm. Thanks Meagan!

I have not disconnected my battery yet for the window issue, if I do, will I lose all my SYNC settings (radio presets, bluetooth connections, ect)?

You're welcome! Have you played with the window yet? As far as the SYNC question, that's outside of my scope, and I don't believe we currently have the In-Vehicle Technology team on this forum. You can reach them on Twitter or on Facebook, though.

It's two clicks for auto-down on the window. If you press lightly, which takes some training, you won't send it all the way down.

^ Yep. Just be gentle.

Exactly, it's a 2-stage button and lightly depressing it will roll the window down until you let go. Mess with it a bit, you'll feel the extra resistance about half way down in the buttons travel.

I would love to disable the seat belt chime, terribly annoying and goes on for far too long, or as Jeremy Clarkson eloquently put it referring to these..... "BONG BONG BONG BONG".

^^As they said, it's 2 stages. Don't fat-finger it. She likes a gentle touch.
