Help with seat belts

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: stateproperty3423

I have a 03 ls but the dealer gave me an 02 manual. I'm trying to shut the seat belt reminder off, im following the instructions to a T but its not working is that because the steps to shut off the reminder are different in the 03+ ls? If so can someone post these steps. I would get the info from the tech articles but the links are not working for me.

What are the steps? I remember turning mine off as one of the message center functions. Other Fords use a series of steps of buckling and unbuckling the seatbelt.

Posted by: stateproperty3423

the 02 manual says unbuckle then buckle the seat belt 3 times then turn the parking light on then off then buckle and unbuckle the seat belt 3 more times it also says make sure the e brake is on and the car is on the "on" mode but not started I did all that and it is not working

the parking lamps are the one to the right off the off position the second from the left

Posted by: stateproperty3423

let me rephrase that it was wrong: the parking lamps are the postion on the light on off knob second from the RIGHT third from the left

Posted by: Oxyargon03

I got it thanks =) the chime is no more

Posted by: KC_Valentine

I'm thinking I'm doing the light part wrong also.. 01 model has same routine to turn it off right?

turn to On, have ebrake up doors closed seatbelt undone.. wait 1-2minutes for the seatbelt light to go off.. seatbelt on then off 3x, turn park lamps on *just the yellow lights, not actual head lights*, then off, 3 more fastens of the belt... then it says within 7 seconds of the light turning OFF you have to do it again?

Turn car on but do not start.
Wait until the seatbelt light goes out.
Quickly buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt three times leaving it unbuckeld.
Turn parking lapms on, then off.
Quickly buckle, then unbuckle the seatbelt three times leaving it unbulcked.
The seatblet light will flash once.
Immediately buckle and unbuckle the seatblelt once.
The seatbelt light should flash several times then go out.

That's the way I remember it and have been doing it on our CV P71's.

***Have the e-brake pulled too before you turn the car to the on position (i just did this last night)

Posted by: mholhut

I think it works without the e-brake set... it has on all the other cars I've done it to.

Posted by: stateproperty3423

I figured out how to do it on the 03+ ls's it is different instead of doing the crap listed above all you do a buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt 9x's

Posted by: Black03

yeah, you have to do the 9x thing, then dont you do it once more for a confirmation or something? Been a couple weeks since I did mine.

correct and you have to do the same for the passanger seat since there is a weight sensor in the seat.....man this car is amazing

Posted by: Oxyargon03

yes 2002 is 3x parking lights 3x yada yada, 2003 is 9x's. they are different. The online manual said have the e-brake pulled, i didn't try it w/o it pulled so i don't know for sure.

Posted by: Motodrew

Once you start your car, just press on the seatbelt unlock button and it will refrain from reminding you from then on.
