How do I disable the seatbelt alarm on a 2017 Toyota Highlander?

I live in Illinois and I have a 2017 Toyota Highlander and so far, so good. The one thing I find annoying is the seatbelt chime. I usually wear my seat belt, but I use the vehicle at my job site to drive short distances and don’t always put my seatbelt on. So when the chime starts to get loud, it’s super annoying. How can I disable the seatbelt chime on my 2017 Highlander?

The seatbelt chime on your 2017
Toyota Highlander
is intended to be a subtle reminder to put your seatbelt on, but it can get annoying when you’re driving at a job site. Fortunately, you can disable the seatbelt chime on your Toyota Highlander by following these directions:
  • Keep your foot off the brake.
  • Press the start push-button twice.
  • Press the trip odometer button until you reach the odometer on the instrument cluster display.
  • Turn the ignition off.
  • Prepare to put the seatbelt on, but don’t plug it in.
  • Turn the ignition back on.
  • Press and hold the trip button for 20 seconds.
  • Plug in the seatbelt while holding the trip button.
  • If everything is done correctly, you should see a message on the odometer that lets you turn the beep or chime on or off.
Keep in mind that you will still have the flashing seatbelt sign on the instrument cluster, even if the chime has stopped.
You should never drive without a seatbelt, as it’s dangerous and can even leave you open to getting a ticket. Wearing a seatbelt is important for your safety, just like driving with insurance is important for your safety and that of other drivers. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a ton to get the coverage you want. Just download the
