On my wifes Cobalt SS 2.4, when not buckled up the seat belt light and chime will shut off after a few minutes and then it comes back on after a few more minutes. This cycle will continue until you buckle up. According to the manual this is normal. My SS SC does not keep repeating, it will only warn you once and then not come back on.

Any others have this with the 2.4 SS ?

ThanX

 

The sensors always checking for a seat belt in the area you buckle it into. My guess is a malfunction

 

i would say wear the seatbelt... but thats just my .02. its like the kid who went to my school he spent acouple hundred to put in 5 pt race harnesses then got killed because he wasnt wearing them

 

ouch

 

I concur, it isn't hard to do and may save your life one day.

I'm suprised it isn't a law out there to wear your seat belt yet... While on topic--what happened to that national 'Click it or ticket' campaign?

 

yeah you have to be the stupidest person in the world to not wear a seat belt, i mean common, how simple is it to buckle a fricken seat belt, pull and click tahts it

 

ThanX, that's what I thought.

BTW I always wear my seat belts when leaving the city limits.

 

There are some cars out there that the airbag will simply not deploy if you are not weraing your belt...

 

Airbags or not... Wear your goddamn seat belt. Its been a reflex of mine since I can remember.

Cheap insurance against fatal or very costly injury.

The seat belt reminder light/chime might be missing from your car and that's like a Year of Production calibration thing. Don't fret and wear your seatbelt if you're in the car. Most auto accidents happen closest to home.

 

I agree 100% it was never mean to be in question. My post incomplete I guess.

WEAR THE F-ing Belt.

 

You guys would CRAP if you went for a ride in my Impala, there are NO seatbelts!. Guess it is kinda like ride a motorcycle without a helmet, feels very free.............I do of course wear them all the time in my Cobalt.

 

How old is this Impalla?

 

The thing that bothers me is when the warning chime goes off for the passenger seat belt. It's based on a weight sensor, so if I put something heavy on my passenger seat the stupid chime starts ringing... guess it's just something I'll have to live with.

 

So does your's keep repeating the warning cycle until the belts are connected ?

 

Just put ur seat belt on.
I can't even drive adound a parking lot without my seatbelt on.
I have had my life saved by a seatbelt and the accident was less then a mile from my house. It is natural selection, if you are to ******* stuped to put a seatbelt on you should be dead.

 

ive seen accidents where the seat belts , cause the person to die in the crash , and ive seen 1's that woulda saved the person


only reason to wear a seat belt is so you dont get a ticket

 

I'm not looking for opinions on if I should wear my seat belt. I'm trying to figure out if there may be a problem with my wifes SS 2.4. The warning chime and light keeps recycling and won't stop until I latch the belt (both front seats get the warning when occupied). It does not do this in my SS SC. My SS SC does not even have any warning for the passenger side.

 

Sucks Eh, When you get the unexpected...

The funny thing is that, if you always wore the seatbelt, you would never know there might be a problem..

 

Asstyme.... sounds like a definate problem... possibly a short or a loose fuse... I only get the passenger side warning if I sit something heavy in my passenger seat. When the seat is empty it dosen't do anything. I'd have it checked out.

 

It's a '63, got it kinda pimped out too LOL!

 

Probably changed for the 06 model year.... or is you SS/SC an 06 as well?

 

I'm assuming your wife's SS is an 06 with the Passeger Pressence System (PPS) as part of the airbags and yours is an 05 or 06 with Recaros without PPS correct ?
The two warning systems work slightly different, but as you said the owners manual correctly descibes the system operation
HTH

Ya, mine is a 2006 with the RECAROS. I just got back from the service department and they are arguing over weather or not this is correct Just seems kinda funny the warnings would keep repeating.......
Can anybody with a SS 2.4 confirm weather or not this is normal ???


ThanX

 

I have a 2006 LT and it does the same thing....

 

Your car wants you to die.



My monte does that too. It blinks a few times, then it like gives up. Iy's like "whatever. die then." haha!!!


But no, my 2.4 is very consistant. It keeps going all day.
