Default Anyway to turn off seatbelt warning?

I don't typically drive without my seatbelt, but I don't use one going down my driveway. Is there anyway to program the car so that you can turn off the seatbelt warning bell?

Thanks,
Tim

Why do you drive without your seatbelt?

I don't typically drive without my seatbelt, but if I'm driving two blocks downs my street in my neighborhood at a top speed of 15 mph, I don't feel the need to put on the seatbelt. Hitting enter on the column only turns off the message on the dash, not the bell - at least in my car. It's no big deal, but I thought there might be an easy way to turn this off.

15 mph may be enough to set off the airbag should you have an accident. Add another vehicle going 15 and you could be talking about a 30mph accident. You will definately want a seatbelt on should the airbag deploy.

I'm sure you don't plan on having an accident. Nobody every plans on having one. That's way they call them accidents. Every one I've ever been in has been the fault of another driver. And in every one I've been glad I had a seatbelt on.

Honestly, I can't believe a Porsche driver would even consider driving without a seat belt.

Sorry, I know this isn't what you wanted to hear.
