Default Recode for warning lamps

I just replaced my brake pads with no sensors.
Found the following procedure on Rosstec to disable BrakePad wear sensor. Thought it would be a good idea to vag it, instead of shorting the wires.
Apparently it was never active (code 02244). But I'm still getting the brake pads symbol on my display. Moreover, the code shows that 'Seat Belt Warning is Active', but I never get any prompt for that while driving either.

Has any one else setup their seatbelt/brakepad warnings thru vagcom.
I could be doing something wrong, or the method could be for different years of A4.

Thanks.

Recode for warning lamps:

[Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Recode - 07]
Write down the existing coding for future reference.
Enter 5-digit code from below
[Do It!]

Look at the first two digits in the coding. Add the values for the options together to get the correct coding.

00 - No available equipment
+01 - Brakepad wear sensor warning active
+02 - Seatbelt warning active
+04 - Washer fluid level warning active (may only work with pre-2000 models)
+16 - Navigation System (non-USA models)

Look at the third digit in the coding (Market version):

0 - "Germany" 24 hour clock
1 - "Rest of World" 24 hour clock
2 - "USA" 12 hour clock
3 - "Canada" 12 hour clock

Look at the fourth digit in the coding (Cylinders):

4 - 4-cylinder
6 - 6-cylinder

Look at the fifth digit in the coding (Distance impulse multiplier):

0 - TDI Engine (non-USA models)
2 - Non-turbo Gasoline engine
4 - Turbocharged engine

I dunno about the brakes but ill be finding out shortly when i replace my rears... As for the seatbelt thing, I never have a seatbelt light when im not wearing it.. Im wondering if there even is a seatbelt light, i should check the owners manual i guess.

I don't get seatbelt warning either.
I saw the seatbelt warning lamp coding in VagCom though. So I was wondering if anyone has enabled & disabled it either.
