Hello all,
Does anyone know how to disable the seatbelt chime on the 2016 Mustang? I always wear my seatbelt, but it is rather annoying in some instances.
I had tried a method for the 2015 Mustang I saw on YouTube, but im not sure if it applies to the 2016.
1 - turn car on, do not start engine
2 - wait for seatbelt icon to disappear from dash
3 - insert and remove seatbelt three times
4 - seatbelt icon flashes
5 - restart

After #5 I tested and am still getting the reminder chime

Look in your owners manual, it's always in there.

IIRC after step 4 you insert and remove seat belt one more time to confirm then you should be good.

Maybe you can alter the settings with the Forscan software

Can you simply buckle the ends together and stuff the belt behind you? That worked in a rented Ford Edge, but 5 years ago. Maybe they've defeated that method. imp

Looks like this was right - I was missing that extra re-buckle after. Thanks for the help! It didnt seem like someyhing theyd put in the manual since its somewhat a safety feature.
