Switching the Seatbelt Reminder On and Off (Correction)

[seanpublic]

The PDF and infotainment owner's manuals both have the wrong procedure for turning off the seatbelt reminder chime. That was copied from the S550 manual. The HTML online manual has the correct procedure: https://www.fordservicecontent.com/...A&div=f&vFilteringEnabled=False&buildtype=web.

Has anyone successfully implemented this?
It does not work on my dark horse.
Edit to add: because the manual is wrong.

1) set the parking brake
2) close the doors
3) press start button, but do not press the brake to enter accessory mode. Do NOT start the car.
4) wait for the seat belt status window to announce in the instrument cluster
5) do not wait, begin inserting and removing the seat belt from the belt clip of the seat you want to disable the alert for. Do this insert/remove 4 times ending with the seat belt out
6) if successful, you will see the seat belt idiot light flash. if you don’t, power off, open the door, close it and start again from step 3)

I was not able to get >1 seat done at a time, I’m pretty sure I was under the 30 seconds listed in the manual, so YMMV

HTH
also, always wear your seat belt! :-)

There’s always FORSCAN. I had to do FORSCAN on my Raptor after 3 tries myself, 2 tries by a Ford Tech and his senior tech.
