Disable Gas Saver Feature (Auto Start Stop)?

[Hcopter]

I wish I could get to that point but I won’t do it.

I’d turn off stop/start,
And every beep , bell, ding sound I could find.
Oh yeah I’d get rid of that oh so stupid OK screen for the seatbelts.

Back in the day we’d unhook, cut, rip out all those noise makers.
Can’t have all those clown sounds going off at 5 AM when your sneaking out of your girlfriend’s house.

Daddy might catch you.

As I understand it, Ford didn't spend the money to put pressure sensors in the rear seat, so to be safe, it just assumes there are three people in the back without their seatbelts on.

Latching all three rear seatbelts will prevent the seatbelt pop up. Since I rarely have rear passengers I made some simple dummy clips from some plastic I had. Best, and cheapest, mod I've done.

After 3 and 1/2 years I still forget sometimes. I would prefer that it defaulted to off and let me decide when to use it!

I also forget sometimes and I come to a stop and the Maverick shuts off and I say damn it!!

I have night lights plugged into the 2 AC outlets. Back seat and bed. I think the truck sees a current draw on the AC inverter and prevents Start/Stop.

It can be done through Forscan.

And how, pray tell, DO you get rid of the "OK Seatbelt" screen?

I do it automatically without thinking after 3 years but was a pain.

Yup. I sit in the car, start the engine, disable that feature then click "OK" to get rid of the seat belt notification.

I got a FORScan adapter as a Christmas gift. I turned off the warning display but left the chime. It only dings for a few seconds IF and only IF a seatbelt is not fastened.


There are several things that make it annoying, even if it were just 10 seconds.
1. It highjacks the display until you clear it. Very annoying when you want to confirm other things.
2. When I have passengers, I have to wait until everyone is buckled up. Otherwise I have to clear it multiple times, which takes me back to my first point.

It would make more sense to have it automatically clear once the seatbelt is buckled. That's what all my previous vehicles did.

And Clear the INSTANT the last occupants belts is clicked Dammit !

Just repeating what someone else on the forum posted in the past, and probably someone before them. That's the great thing about MTC.

Is there a "Sticky" listing all the common questions/quirks that get asked over and over? I guess I should look.
