Forscan: Any way to disable the Seat Belt and Ready to Drive messages on startup

[mde-5062]

Hybrid XL: I get a really fun message indicating the HV battery is connected "Ready to Drive" combined with a nice diagram of which seat belts have been connected. If I need to change the drive modes or look at my settings, I either have to click through the messages or wait for them to timeout. Has anyone figured out a way to disable them via Forscan?

I hate the seatbelt visual, would love to remove that. Don't care about the chime since I put my belt on, but the visual is very annoying.

Would love to see a fix for this. Between the start up notifications and pushing the drive mode button 4x to get to eco mode I've never had to push so many buttons just to start driving.

Hum that would be annoying. The only time I see a seat belt warning graphic is when a seat belt has been Un-Buckled with the engine running (which is great when the grandkids are passengers.

I think the seatbelt warning can be disabled, at least my Lariat hybrid doesn't do it. . . I would like to get rid of the 'ready to drive' nonsense though. . . . You would think Ford engineers would build software with a little logic in mind. . . . if you move the gear shift or some other control and the vehicle is ready to go. . . the 'advisory' should go away on it's own.

I've tried that on my XLT Hybrid, but no luck. After step 3, the seatbelt warning light doesn't come back on like it says it should. Varied how fast I was fastening & unfastening ("moderate speed"?). But, still no luck. Oh well.

Not sure what model year you have, but it's my understanding that you could disable it on 2022, but cannot on 2023.

I understand the safety aspect and wear my seatbelt, but wish the seat belt chime was only warned if going over 5mph. I hate being nagged just getting the mail or moving the trailer in the driveway. It's like a pre-flight checklist anymore lol

Can't with the seatbelts if you have the small digital screen. I had a '22 XL that I traded, and it was the worst with all the button pushes before actually driving. FX4, Tremor, or Lariat with the larger screen, you can get rid of it.

Would love to know how! I have a Tremor Lariat Lux and don’t believe there is a way to turn off the seatbelt screen. If I’m wrong, I would be massively grateful if you could tell me how.

Have not once seen the "Press OK" seatbelt message on my '22 XL since following this procedure.

That's great if it works! Was a total downer in my XL, and I spent a lot of time trying to resolve it.
