However, you can temporarily silence the chime in most cases by:
* Buckling the seatbelt: This is the most obvious solution. Even if you just buckle it loosely, the chime should stop.
* Sitting in the passenger seat: If the chime is for the driver's seat, simply sitting in the passenger seat (if the car has one) will silence the chime for the driver's seat.
If you're experiencing a malfunctioning chime that goes off even when the seatbelt is buckled, you should have a mechanic investigate the problem. It could indicate a fault in the seatbelt system itself. Attempting to fix this yourself could be dangerous.
