Seat belt graphic in instrument cluster

[Carbon Gray ST]

Does anyone know if it’s possible and if so how to turn the seatbelt reminder/graphic off in the instrument cluster that pops up each time you start the vehicle? I hate having to press the OK button on the steering wheel every single time I start the vehicle. 2025 ST

I just leave it and don't press okay. after about a minute the seatbelt screen goes off.

Weird how somethings like that annoy people. I don't think you can deactivate the notification so it'll be quicker to just hit ok than ignore it. Or just get used to it. I do a preflight check. 1. Start the truck 2. Turn on sport mode or Deactivate auto start/stop. 3 clear any notifications. 4. Find a play list or pod cast. 5. go have fun. Way cheaper than buying and mod to get rid of a small inconvenience.

Maybe I’ll have to do that, was hoping to get rid of all the “start up” press ok’s lol I feel like it asks you to acknowledge way too much non-sense lol.
maybe as people dig into the forscan menus there will be a way to get rid of it.
I saw a lot of items pertaining to the seatbelts in forscan just not sure which if any would do any good.

To each there own, I don’t want to have to press “ok” 3 times and hit the auto start button or spin the dial each time I get in the car. I want to start it and go. Apple car play automatically plays my music, I installed the auto start/stop eliminator (which I find a must) I will never use the system and again it’s yet another unnecessary button to press every single time I get in the thing.
I’ll agree these are very first world “problems” but they annoy me which is valid enough for me to try and find a solution that’s not “get used to it”.

Hahaha I get you man, most certainly first world problems lol. I've thought of the same things about looking into getting mods to eliminate the need to skips some steps. I just couldn't justify spending the cash on something that I can remedy myself and takes a half of second to do. But where these a need there's a market. I love the Carbon Gray, wish they had one on the lot when I got mine.

What color did you end up getting instead? There were 2 Gray, one red and one vapor blue on the lot when I got mine.

Two tone white and black. The others were carbon gray and a black one. The carbon gray was rear wheel and the black had terrible swirl marks, scratches and loads of water spots. The one I got was on the show room floor and was nearly perfect. I may wrap the truck in gloss black or satin who knows but either way I love my ST.

Nice! Good choice. The black roof is a neat option, some people really like that look. I’m not shocked the black was already beat up, I could never do a black vehicle again, I have had 3 over the years and while they look amazing when clean. They are quite a handful to keep looking nice.
My other Explorer is white, and I’ve loved that color over the years of me owning it. Look forward to seeing it if you do decide to wrap it. I did clear PPF on mine but I really really like the carbon gray color.

The gray was my first choice but was really bummed that it was not AWD. They sad they could get one ordered for me but I'm super impatient and couldn't wait. They had already ceramic coated the truck but I suspected they hadn't paint corrected etc. Seeing the black the way it was just reminds me how much upkeep it'll take to keep it clean. My first ST was black and it was a pain to keep clean but it looked aggressive!

Yea I was getting opinions from people on the wrap on the Facebook page and got mixed reactions but, most people don't like satin so that's why I'm opting for gloss black.

It is wild getting into this car and have to press a bunch of OK clearing buttons for idiot lights. I can understand it being red and chiming, but to stay on the screen to tell me it has acknowledged I buckled the seat when I was the one that did it is pretty f'n stupid to show me a green light. I agree with the OP on this one. Same with our F150 when towing, every possible alert on the screen and have to press the OK button telling me after three years no cross traffic alert and emergency breaking when towing, yeah no f'n sh!t bro. First world problems, but still should be able to disable this stuff.

Dealt with the same type of BS this morning. I had to take my 25' Explorer in today to the dealership to have a dent from the factory in my roof PDR'd out (Paintless Dent Removal). On the way there a stupid a$$ warning pop's up about how the front camera is obstructed and needs to be cleaned (due to morning frost) and I had to hit OK. About 10mins later it pop's up again - WTF, I already hit OK a few min's earlier during the same drive. SOOOOOOOOOO much stupid BS on these vehicles.

Haha, glad I’m not the only one it annoys. What ever happened to warning lights when something ACTUALLY needed to be addressed? Oh a cute graphic that my seat belt is off… nice, oh now it’s still there but I get a good boy green check mark and need to press OK, sweet. What would I do without it?!

I’m still scratching mu head when Ford had a stop sale/ delivery cause the rear camera malfunction.

Forgot these youngins never learned to turn heads and use mirrors.

If they ever had a car with no power anything. You’d have a cramp up your arses for a month reaching the door lock.

No power steering,( otherwise known as muscle steering), no power seats or door locks. Try reaching across the front seat to roll your windows.

We never complained but we did end up with forearms like Popeye.
To then just having manual locks increased your chance to being a gentleman and got out to open the door for your sweet heart.

The good ol days.
