Hey I finally get to post to this message board!

I've been an F-150 owner for a few years now and love this site. I just got an Expy for my wife last Friday and we love it!

We don't, however, love that annoying seatbelt chime that goes off every so often if the driver is not wearing his seatbelt when the vehicle is running. Anyone know how to disable this chime?

Thanks,
MJ

 

Thanks!

I always read the manual, I just haven't read the new one yet. I probably should have checked there before posting.

Read the manual. It tells you how to disable auto locking etc. Congrats on the Expy

Take a look at the instructions below. It might help you since it's from a '01 Expy Manual.
