I had a similar scenario for my wifes disabled seat & it needed a reprog by M/B and they will not program the computer without you signing a disclaimer form. I would be very suprised if they would disable a safety feature for the reason that you state.
I can't see a reason for seat belts not being worn even for a short trip (in UK statistics state that most accidents occur within 1 mile of your home).
In the UK seat belts are mandatory & you are fined for not wearing them.
However if you were insistant on not using the belt and not wanting the alarm why not get a seat belt clip from a breakers yard and plug that in on it's own, that should probably work.
If you cannot get one from a wreckers then see if a mechanic or handyman can make you up a dummy one from metal using the car one as a template.
I personally would never drive any distance without a seatbelt.
this is very strange thing. i dont think, it's very difficult to disable this alarm. i heard that in porsche you can have this alarm disabled by service after signing adequate papers

It's different with M/B they definitely don't want you disabling their safety features, believe me, I've been down this route twice with my B classes.
I whole heartedly agree with Trout's comments on this matter.
Clunk Click every trip as they used to say.
When I first started driving 40 years ago I had to do an emergency stop, & seat belts wern't mandatory in those days, I pivoted up on the seat narrowly missing the windscreen but hitting my head on the bottom of the roof. I immediately went out and bought seatbelts for that car & I have always worn them ever since.
The idea that seatbelts are not needed for short trips is nonsense. If you disable it for them, expect a lawsuit when your friend goes head first through the windscreen.....
Just as a matter of interest is the EU (European Union) the only country where it is an offence not to wear a seatbelt
Absolutely not. Canada has strict enforcement rules... it is almost routine to see constables setting up at a corner or such to see if the car's inhabitants are wearing seatbelts..... no chance to even try and snap it on quickly ..... experience. Meanwhile I have gotten used to wearing them and would never drive without.
I'm really surprised that someone would even think that since they are just going a short distance they don't need to buckle up. Wow, it's well known that most accidents happen with a close radius of ones own home. Why is there so much effort required to put on a belt?
Wear your seat belt
You have brought a Mercedes where safety is important so use the equipment. I feel strange now without a belt on.
