My 2004 there is a procedure to do this, and it was in the owner's
manual. I'll check the manual tomorrow and see if I can find it. You
can also do it with a scan tool (the right one, probalby not a generic
one...) but the owner's manual method takes only the key, and a few
minutes.
(Yea, drove me nuts too, I don't belt in when plowing...)
This may be the procedure that I followed (sounds right, did a google
search):
The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert) can be enabled or disabled by
your authorized dealer or by following these steps:
NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of
the ignition switch being turned to the ON or START position. The
manufacturer does not recommend deactivating the Enhanced Warning
System (BeltAlert).
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and fasten the
driver’s seat belt.
2. Start the engine, and wait for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn
off.
3. Within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle and then
re-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least three times, ending with the
seat belt buckled.
4. Turn off the engine. A single chime will sound to signify that you
have successfully completed the programming. The Enhanced Warning
System (BeltAlert) can be reactivated by repeating this procedure.
NOTE: Although the Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert) has been
deactivated, the Seat Belt Warning Light will continue to illuminate
while the driver’s seat belt remains unfastened.
