If you even pull on the Seatbelt, the Drivers seat icon turns green and then you can cycle through other menu items. If unbuckled, you CAN NOT hit the ok button to dismiss until it’s satisfied, from what I’ve experienced.

Yep, but if there was an option to not ever get the screen i'd be happy.
The idiot light is plenty to remind me.

IDK of a way - maybe FORSCAN but as a workaround:
belt up before hitting start.

Oddly i tried putting on the belt before starting. The belt screen still shows up...

Yeah, the more I see that seat belt splash, the more I think it’s Ford’s EV team got recruited to contribute to the electronics and this is their ICE Mustang “F U "

More than likely it was Ford's legal team.

seatbelt warning light switches off.

After Step 2, wait an additional five

seconds before proceeding with Step

3. Once you start Step 3, complete the

procedure within 30 seconds.



3. For the seating position you are

switching off, buckle then unbuckle the

seatbelt three times at a moderate

speed, ending in the unbuckled state.

After Step 3, the seatbelt warning light

switches on.

Ok, up until now I just hit the "OK" to get rid of the screen. Today leaving my house I got up the road a piece and it turned off automatically. I am not sure if it is a speed or distance thing.

I will check later

I literally just posted about this - #13

Your step 2 did not work in my Dark Horse. Every time I waited and tried the procedure, it failed. I ended up on youtube, and found some consistency in various models in the procedure so I tried some variations of them and the step by step I posted worked in my ’24.

Did you use the above procedure, or did you get it from somewhere? it’s very possible it could be different in an older model or even earlier models in a model year if a programming change was done to a module. And there’s no guarantee it will work, as I mentioned on my ’17 Raptor, a Nov. ’16 build, the seat belt chime could not be suppressed by the Ford procedure. My tech and his senior tech even tried it, so I ended up turning it off in FORSCAN.

Mine turns off (post 24) I did nothing. My build date is May 2024 so maybe they updated it. I took this straight from the online owners manual.
