ehsnils Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 You need to adjust the computer: Go fast...ignition on turn headlights on hit trip meter 5 times headlights off hit trip meter 5 times headlights on hit trip meter 5 times Now you can adjust the MPG reading on the first option screen. Default is zero I set mine to -2 and its much closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoHud 3.6R Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 How do turn off that annoying seatbelt chime?! You have 30 seconds from when u turn the car on, click in the seatbelt and remove 20 times. I know it sounds like BS but it worked for me... I always wear my seatbelt, i dont need a reminder.

Patrickturner Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 This is not really a trick just a tid-bit: the owners folder (holds all the books) fits perfectly in the rear door pockets. THis cleans up the glove box for other crap like extra napkins and straws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary245 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 SEATBELT CHIME ELIMINATION 1. Insert key into ignition. Turn to "Accessory On" position. This is the last click before you would turn the key to start the engine. Your radio and annoying seatbelt chime will be ON. 2. Within 5 seconds of turning your key to "ACC ON", take your seatbelt clip, and INSERT & RELEASE into the buckle 20 times repeatedly. Each time you INSERT the clip into the buckle, it must "click" into place. You must push the release button to remove it. Complete this 20 times within 30 seconds. 3. When you have completed the 20 clicks, turn your key off and remove it from the ignition. 4. Start your car as normal. You will notice that the seatbelt indicator chime will sound six (6) times, then go off. It will NOT come back on until the next time you start your car, and it will stay on this pattern indefinately. 5. To re-active your annoying seatbelt chime, simply unhook your positive (+) battery terminal for 30 seconds to reset the ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THis cleans up the glove box for other crap like extra napkins and straws If you do this, remember to take out the metal tag with security numbers etched in it needed to cut replacement keys for your car... you wouldn't want the vallet guy or anyone else getting their hands on that! This was the only reason I left my folder at home (because I like to keep all my documents together). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the only reason I left my folder at home (because I like to keep all my documents together). Good Idea, though interesting.... My Key ID came on my keyring and not in the folder. I keep mine with the spare key in the closet at home (shhh....) I always like to have the book close by just in case.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I have a lot of car write-offs, I need to keep great records. I use the neat desk scanner... that thing is amazing, and I dont have to have the papers laying around. They can be a heck of a pile after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
