    I looked in there and my 2015 manual has nothing about this. Do you have a screenshot? Or is it the method described earlier here that does not work for me?

    I don't need to go tone deaf every time I turn the key to start this thing. Of course I wear a seatbelt.

    Not something I had considered, it makes sense.

    I've suffered a concussion on a slow rocky road in the sierras because my truck rocked forward, back, then forward with just the right timing that my shoulder belt whipped my upper torso rearward just as the truck started rocking forward again thus flinging my head back into the B pillar.

    If I'm in 1st gear in 4 LO going only a couple miles per hour and there's no danger of rolling over or off a cliff my seatbelt is off. It's become second nature almost like shifting gears for me when I'm out in the mountains, always unbuckling then rebuckling my seatbelt depending on the situation.

    For any fellow Canucks looking here, apparently the procedure to disable this seat belt alarm is not available on our models.
    Time to get to the speaker on the back of the instrument cluster and silicone it into a more reasonable volume or disconnect it altogether.
