Turn-off Seatbelt Warning Sound

[gForceDude]

How to turn-off the seatbelt warning sound:
(from the Manual, page 57)

Read Steps 1 - 4 before proceeding with
the programming procedure.
Make sure that:
• You set the parking brake.
• The transmission is in park (P).
• The ignition is off.
• You close all vehicle doors.
• You unfasten the driver and front
passenger seatbelts.

1. Switch the ignition on. Do not start the
engine.
2. After Step 1, wait an additional five
seconds before proceeding with Step
3. Once you start Step 3, you must
complete the procedure within 60
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.
4. When the seatbelt warning light is on,
buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt.
After Step 4, the seatbelt warning light
flashes for confirmation.

This switches the feature off for that
seating position if it is currently on.

So, you can't have your new truck yet; but while you are waiting, you can read all about it in the Manual:

What about stop/start?

What about stop/start?

I assume you are asking about some way to disable Auto Start/Stop.
That would be the best thing that one could hope to find; but I doubt that it will be in there.
There are about 650 pages to go through, and if I do find any info regarding how to disable ASS, you can rest assured that I will happily post that here immediately.
But for now, I am definitely looking forward to turning off the seatbelt warning sound

There’s a physical button for AS/S by the shifter. You press it and AS/S is disabled.

I just wish I had a warning sound. Not scheduled yet maybe get it in Mar 25

Well yeah. I meant to default to off on start of the engine.

It’s not conclusive yet but auto start removal is listed as one of the features on my raptor build sheet. Otherwise give it a couple months and there will be a button replacement kit like the f150 and Explorer that remembers your last setting on startup.

These two products will most likely be available for the 2024 Trucks early next year:

And there might be more that I am unaware of.
But I think that I'll just try to get into the habit of pushing the 'Off' button every time I start my truck.

Just wondering why would you want to turn off the seatbelt warning

Just wondering why would you want to turn off the seatbelt warning

I often drive short distances that are not on the public roadway, with multiple stops where I must briefly get out and back into the truck. A seatbelt is not necessary for this, and is just a nuisance. So, I would prefer to not have to listen the endless sound of the seatbelt warning during these times.

Ok so a easy cheep way is to find a old seat belt and cut off the male end then plug it in to your seat belt problem solved that will complete the circuit and no alarm. I use an old pet leash that plugs into the seat belt same thing cut off what you don’t need.

That's a good idea!

These work too:

But the best solution is for Ford to make it optional, and easy to turn-off - Thanks Ford !

I have found a cable at RM Autoshop Thailand, for my Ranger Raptor Next Gen. Installed it myself in under 10 minutes. Now the default mode is OFF, unless I press the button... The best thing ever on my Raptor!

I live in the Caribbean. The small cable was at my place with DHL within a week.

I filmed the installation of the cable

Is it possible to turn off the annoying seatbelt warning screen that pops up when you start the vehicle?
