Seatbelt beep. While I don't mind it reminding me I find it infuriating when manoeuvring the car on the drive (sans seatbelt) that the beeping continues after I stop and apply the handbrake! s:shock: :shock: s:shock: s:evil: :evil: s:evil: What's that all about. The frigging car is out of gear with the brake on! Really bugs me, this one. s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
Mine doesnt beep, just have the light flash on the dash, now is that cos a) someones disconnected the beeper, or b) Jap Imports dont beep?
Face-lifted cars beep. My old '02 didn't.
My '03 doesn't beep s:?: :?: s:?:
Quote from: "bigun007"My '03 doesn't beep s:?: :?: s:?:
Nor does mine, least not that I've noticed and I'm sure I've driven it without the seatbelt. Maybe it's an 04 thing? I'll swap cars if you like, no-one'll notice s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Neither does mine! the beep is strong in you Master Sith
I've an 04 and sure mine doesn't beep as well s:? :? s:?
Although I think I've only driven to the end of the drive once or twice without the seatbelt on.
WELL WHY DOES MINE BLOODY-WELL BEEP THEN?! EH, TOYOTA? AND IT GETS LOUDER AND FASTER THE LONGER YOU LEAVE IT!
Teddy is now back in the pram.
Do you just have to start the engine up without the driver seatbelt on? Or do you have to actually move the car?
If you just have to start the engine, I can go and check cos I'm only 20 yards away from the car so can nip out and start it up and see what it does s:) :) s:)
Move the car. Then when the handbrake is applied the noise continues. After a while it gets faster/louder. Plugging in the seatbelt or turning of the ignition are the only ways to cancel it. I don't mind a warning noise whilst moving the car without the seatbelt on (that's the idea – a reminder), but surely it should stop once the handbrale's been applied?
How far do you need to move it? Our car park isn't very long (about two car lengths!!!)
Um, dunno. About ten metres or so? Have a go, see if it happens! That way I'll know I haven't got a dud! s:? :? s:?
agh, the maddening beeps have finally caused me to de-lurk!!
I have an 04 and that beeps too, although it only seems to start once you go over a certain speed...
I'll try it on the way out of here then at home time and post something up when I get back home (about 18:00).
You never know, I could have a beep that I never knew I had s;) ;) s;) Or mine could be broke and not beeping s:D :D s:D
Looks like I probably have it then and just never found it. That'll teach me to always put my seatbelt on before starting the engine s;) ;) s;)
I never put my belt on before starting the car, but I ALWAYS do before I move off. This has nothing to do with it though, but I had never considered the 'speed' thing setting it off. Usually coming in to work I'll stop in front of the gates (while they're opening) and jump out and grab the mail. Then I'll get back in and drive up the driveway without the belt on. Hello beeping. s:roll: :roll: s:roll: Perhaps if I didn't work here then I'd have never discovered this! s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
Oh, welcome btw!

Welcome the Klingons s;) ;) s;)
I drove to my local polling station last night, end of my lane without my belt on s:oops: :oops: s:oops: VERY un-usual and i didn't get it.
I did get it in the Prius tho and it was f*cking annoying because even if you are in your drive and take it off the thing goe MENTAL!!
looks like he's just special then!!! s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:
On the way home from work, I did the last 200 yards without the belt on, and when we popped out to get a video, I did about 300 yards from starting without the belt on. Must admit, it felt really weird and just plain wrong s:) :) s:)
Didn't get any beeping though s:? :? s:? Just the flashing light to remind me about the seatbelt.....is my '2 missing an annoying beep? s:cry: :cry: s:cry:
Nope mine definitely doesn't beep..I'm betting this is something new for 04, certainly seems that way. Why not do a poll?
I don't think I could put up with anymore bleeping..alarm..stereo tellling me to take the face off, reverse gear..lights on...door ajar...
Thinking about it..if I was reversing..switching the stereo off..pressing the alarm button..with the lights on..with the door ajar you could have a veritable ensemble of 4different kind of beeps
So the pre-'03 cars do have advantages over the newer ones then - no beeps!

Most of 04 Toyota cars have advanced steabelt reminder.
Good thing about it is that you can turn it off, by using very specific procedure. Of course, I forgot how to do it, so I have to check the TSB... will be back...
Okie dokie,
----
Set Buzzer Off mode (seat belt)
a) Within 6 seconds after turning ignition switch to ON position, depress the ODO/TRIP switch for 10 seconds or more, and fasten drivers seat belt to enter buzzer on/off mode
b) When entering buzzer on/off mode, current status will show on ODO display, and you will be able to set it to buzzer off mode with ODO switch.
- if the switch is not operated for 10 secs, it will automatically exit
- when your battery - (negative) cable is disconected, computer will reset the mode back to ON.
Works? I know it works with new Rav4 and new Avensis, it is probably exactly the same system as in there.
Thank you for driving Toyota. And please rember - seat belts save lives!
:-) :-) :-)

We all nee-ee-ee-eed, Thread Resurrection (just a little divine intervention...)Just to confirm that this does indeed work. s:lol: :lol: s:lol: I printed out these instructions weeks ago and promptly forgot about them. I found the print out whilst having a garage clear-out this w/e. Tried it this morning, and hey presto! Bloody annoying beep is no more. s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:
One point I'll add to the instructions – the odo needs to be in odo mode – not trip.
So you weren't going mad after all then s;) ;) s;)
Are there any more secret diagnostic modes? On my missus' Puma, if you hold the trip reset switch in whilst turning the key in the ignition puts it into diagnostic mode. Gives you digital speed readouts, sensor readings, allsorts.
Isn't this called an easter egg? I would love to hear more of those funny things.

Can you also use this procedure to turn the beeping ON on a 2003 model?

Can anyone confirm this works on a UK 2004 model, just tried this and it didn't seem to work for me s:? :? s:? Turned on ignition with button held on, in odo mode, nothing happens on display?!
Any help appreciated ta.
Yep, mine's an 04.
okay so i switch ignition to on
should i have odo button depressed already?
Or do i just quickly switch it to odo mode then hold?
How do i know im in the service mode, am i supposed to put the seatbelt in to invoke this?

Right, like this.
1. Ignition on (engine NOT on) and trip/odo into odo mode. If you've managed to do this within 6 secs then move onto point 3. If not, point 2.
2. Ignition off and on again.
3. Within 6 secs press and hold trip/odo button for 10 secs and fasten seatbelt. I can't remember if you fasten seatbelt
during or
after the 10 secs. So if one doesn't work try the other. The led odo display will change and you will get the option to turn the buzzer off with the odo button.
just out of interest, did this work on 03's?
Quote from: "Hanslow"I've an 04 and sure mine doesn't beep as well s:? :? s:?
Although I think I've only driven to the end of the drive once or twice without the seatbelt on.
my o4 doesnt bleep at me but does bleep if a passanger doesnt fasten there seatbelt or if i put a bag on the saet it thinks its a person s:? :? s:?

This is a new one!
OK, just managed this on mine. After trial and error i found this worked for me
1) ignition ON
2) put your car into trip mode (a or b, doesnt seem to matter)
3) ignition off
4) ignition to ON
5) As quick as you can move to ODO mode, let go of the button when you get there, then hold it down for 10 seconds (if this is done within 6 seconds go to step 6, otherwise start again)
6) as soon as 10 seconds is over put the seatbelt in, screen will change as previously stated.
So, anyone know of anymore changes like this?
errr, have i just completed my first mod?
Does it work if you throw it into reverse? Thats another beep I'd like to get rid of...
I thought that as well, unfortunately that little beep is still there on mine!!
When i had a celica they had a solution to that one, but it involved cutting wires i think! eeek
Also doesnt silence the keys in ignition, door open beep either.

Volvo have got it right. Our S40 is a six speed with exactly the same set up as the '2 box. Rather than have a permanent I'm-a-lorry-and-I'm-backing-up ridiculous beep, it just beeps twice as you engage reverse, and is actually useful. I actually like to hear the noise as it is reassuring, but the '2 is excessive.
Yeh i agree. When i first got my Celica (same 6 speed gearbox as you all know), it was a good thing to have, at least 5 times i managed to stick it into reverse not 1st at the lights. Now I am used to it, a constant reverse beep is just annoying.

The Japanese import 300ZX's have the same reversing beep as the new MR2's (UK ones didn't though) - apparently they have trouble telling what gear they're in out there... s:lol: :lol: s:lol: (Especially when you consider the 300ZX box was impossible to get into reverse at the best of times.. s:lol: :lol: s:lol: )
Do you just get the impression that the japs think we are incredibly bad drivers! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
That's the best thread I have read in a long time. At last the seatbelt bleep is gone! Actually I always ware my belt, but the problem was my was my mother-in-law! It always took me ages for her to struggle with the seat belt - as you couldn't dive far without the bleep going mad!
Cheers everyone.
