Hello There

So I am trying to figure out how to disable the "check speed, drive safely" warning and chime on the cluster because it is actually a safety issue and personal annoyance!

I was doing s scenic drive on Los Angeles Crest Hwy with a Friend Girl going in between 54 and 56 mph around the turns and every 5 seconds it was chiming with that warning flashing, and she was like - "this is driving me crazy can you turn this off!!

And because of it's annoyance it actually IS a Safety Issue - who is the Idiot Engineer or Executive at Ford who thought this was a good Idea??
I'd like to write him a letter and tell him what an Idiot he is and how it Actually is more of a Safety Issue since I'm getting frustrated with the severely annoying Chime rather than focusing on the road and sharp turns...

So I know there has to be a way to turn this off.
Unfortunately my personal mechanic doesn't know how.
And the Dealer is worthless and won't acknowledge me when I ask...

I imagine someone on here can help!

Let me know - appreciate it...

This may be realted:

So here is the interesting thing.
My Mustang came with two Ford "MyKey's" which won't allow you to disable the seatbelt, or "check speed drive safely" warning on the dash because - Big Brother wants you to "Drive Safely" and track your driving habits for more expensive insurance!!!

However you can clear and disable "MyKey" using the main "administrative key" first by going to Settings - MyKey - Clear MyKey.
Then doing the same to the second alternate key...
Once cleared, using the second alternate key - NOW you can do the steps above 3 times, flashing icon, then fourth and Halleluiah - in' annoying seatbelt warning is GONE!

And I think the "check speed drive safely" annoying 55mph chime that is actually more dangerous while driving than quote "promoting safe driving habits" I want to strangle the executive, and or engineer who came up with this one!

Here's a video specific to Mustangs:
