Alarm stop for seat belt warning
Everything you need to know about seat belt lockers
A seat belt warning device that beeps even though no one is sitting in the seat can be both annoying and distracting while driving. Perhaps you have folded down the seats or loaded heavy cargo, and the warning signal refuses to stop. In that case, a seat belt warning device, or seat belt dummy, can be a simple solution. In this guide, we describe the product, when it can be used, and what you should consider when it comes to the seat belt warning system.
How do you turn off the seat belt warning system?
A seat belt key (also called an alarm stop or seat belt dummy) is a small metal or plastic device that is inserted into the car's seat belt buckle. It tricks the car's system into thinking that the seat belt is fastened, which silences the warning signal. The product is often used in the following situations:
- Loading and transport: When seats are folded down to load goods
- Workshop work: Test driving or moving vehicles
- Transporting pets or other cargo that activates sensors in the seat
NOTE! An alarm stop must not be used as a substitute for a seat belt when someone is sitting in the seat. It is illegal to use a seat belt stop when driving on public roads.
How do you turn off the seat belt warning?
It is not permitted to permanently disconnect the seat belt warning from the system in a car, as it is considered a safety feature by law. However, you can use a seat belt dummy temporarily, for example when loading.
Does the seat belt key fit all cars?
Most seat belt keys are universal and fit all car models such as Volvo, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Kia, and Tesla. You can find the product here!
Is it legal to use an alarm stop?
Yes, if no one is sitting in the seat. It may be used when loading, transporting objects, or within a fenced area. Drivers and passengers must always wear seat belts.
