Now, answer truthfully, would you tell her NO because not wearing a seatbelt is dangerous or would you say, WTF, and let her not wear her seatbelt?

Buzzer Reminder Cancel Mode Setting
1) Set the LCD on the combination meter to the ODO display.
2) Press and hold the TRIP meter reset **** for ten seconds or more within six seconds of turning the
ignition switch to the ON position. Fastening the driver’s seat belt while holding the **** cancels the
buzzer reminder.
3) When this occurs, the LCD displays “b-OFF”. The buzzer reminder can be switched between ON and
OFF each time the TRIP meter reset **** is pressed. The LCD displays “b-ON” or “b-OFF” according
to the buzzer reminder ON/OFF status. The display changes to the ODO or TRIP meter” if the ****
is not pressed for ten seconds.
4) Performing steps 1) and 2) again when the buzzer reminder is off exits cancel mode.
5) The cancel mode will also exit when the battery or combination meter connector is reconnected.

Just to let you know. The buzzer does turn off after the last couple of fast beeps.
I drove around the block to see if it beeped forever, all of a sudden it shut off.
I dont think any car manufacturer would keep that beep on forever, it would drive a person mad and probably make them want to wreck.
I always wear my seatbelt so turning it off is something I wont do. However, it does work for my parents. They dont usually wear their seatbelts and ever since we bought this car they think its going to beep forever. Good thing I havent told them it shuts off after a while.

btw, the trick works, now just need to remember to reset it if someone who doesn't like to wear seatbelts gets in the car. also handy if you rest anything on the front seat, had *maybe* 15 pounds on it between my camelbak (think 20oz water, some tools) and a book of cds and it started the annoying "YOUR PASSENGER ISN"T WEARING HIS/HER SEATBELT" reminder...

I have no idea what the griping's about.
My garage door opener stopped working so I've had to park my car in front of the door, then go around and open it from the inside - I spend a good 30 seconds parking the car with the seatbelt off, and all I hear are those first five beeps after I turn on the key.
That's about as long as anyone should drive without a seatbelt.
I don't take my seatbelt off while driving, so I can't speak for any "stupidity alarm" Scion may have built in.

... Fastening the driver’s seat belt while holding the **** cancels the buzzer reminder.
That's the key phrase - basically after you've been holding the odometer **** for 10 seconds, click your seatbelt (without letting the go of the ****) - you will see the display change to b-OFF. you are done. you can click the **** to swith from b-OFF to b-ON, if you ever want to make it annoying again.

If you forget to buckle up after you disengage the buzzer this might be you!
