I have an 08 Prius and love it-except for the bleeping bleeps! Is there a way to make them stop? or not beep so long? I read the directions for turning off the reverse one and agree it is probably good to have it on. But the seat belt warning thing is awful---we Do wear our seatbelts---even my purse on the passenger seat makes it beep).

Hi Carol's mum,

Yes it annoyed me too and I done the following and now I have no beep but if you disconnect your battery you will have to go through the process again. Good Luck. Stompe

Seatbelt Beep On/Off:
1. Power on the car to IG-ON or READY. IG-ON will do for this purpose.
2. Using the Trip/ODO button, set the Trip/ODO display to ODO (not Trip A or Trip
3. Power off the car.
4. Now power the car to READY (brake on). This is required so that step 6 works correctly.
5. Within 6 seconds of powering on, press and hold the Trip/ODO button for 10 seconds or more.
6. WHILE STILL HOLDING ODO *after* the 10 seconds, buckle then unbuckle the appropriate seatbelt
while continuing to depress the Trip/ODO button. Now release the Trip/ODO button.
7. If the last step was successful, "b on" or "b off" should be displayed in the location where the Trip Odometer or Odometer is normally displayed. "b on" is beep on, and "b off" is beep off.
8. Press Trip/ODO to toggle the mode.
9. Now power the car off to exit the toggle mode.
10. Power the car on to READY and confirm the seatbelt beep status
The beep should not be audible if "b off" was selected, and should be audible if "b on" was selected..

Thanks a lot. I will try this--Carolmun--but "Carol's mom" is cooler

Is this in the manual? Would love to turn it off as in a new T-Spirit, it's plenty obvious that you're in reverse as the centre console shows the camera view out the back!

ChrisW78, I came to this site to get the info on how to turn off the beeps. Try asking on the T-Spirit place. I don't think any of this is in the manual-good luck, Carolmun
