My XLT hybrid has it pop up whether you are buckled or not.This is interesting: I have a Lariat Hybrid Lux, and I have never once seen this "seatbelt check mark" popup message. Of course, my wife and I (the only two people ever in the Maverick to this point) always buckle our seatbelts before pressing the "start" button, so there's that...
There is a post somewhere here on MTC where instructions are provided to disable the seatbelt chime and reminder on a seat-by-seat basis. I have no idea whether or not that would prevent the pop-up message.
