Ok Ford, it's time to fix this... green seatbelt warning

[_jeff]

I repeatedly press that button every time I start the vehicle, the prompts are equivalent to popups of the early 2000s.

I wish I had an oil pressure gauge.

No shit Sherlock. Doesn't mean that it isn't annoying as hell that there's soo many pointless alerts that you have to constantly hit OK for.

Ok






; )

Id gladly trade my crap looking 1979 Atari gauge cluster for your seatbelt warnings and your sweet looking dash.

Hey man, we got this one thing... That and the non-exploded bank account.

man that raptor cluster is nice.

Has anyone tried to put a Raptor cluster in a non-Raptor?

I’m pretty sure you can turn that seat belt reminder off, at least in the regular bronco. It’s on one of the options screens.

The seatbelt messages the auto start stop message, the off-road only message, they get annoying.

All the being said, the Raptor gauge cluster played a much more significant role in me going with a Raptor than I like to admit.

I'm really hoping progress gets made in transplanting it into other models.

Not successfully as far as I’m aware. Some have tried it.

One warning I would like to see is something like "Hey Dummy, you're on the highway, you forgot to shift out of 4H".
(I've done that a couple times but realized it after only a couple miles)...

Easy to lose track... Pull in to staging area, hop out, air up, BS with your friends, hop in and drive off... Whoops, forgot to shift out of 4WD... (Rookie move I know). But would be great if there was some USEFUL warning like that..

My only comments are 1) See if ForScan can turn that stuff off, or at least provide a menu option (if that's not already there), and 2) I don't like that its a screen, but its still a better cluster.

Can you post a video or something? Maybe it's a Raptor thing, I don't think I've seen that in my Badlands.

In the Badlands there is a warning for the rear seat. Don't remember all the steps but you can turn it off using the setting option on the screen.

30000 more you might be able to get that! Lol

 

[coachoates]

Well, I don't have that dashboard, so FWIW I've not had that. It actually gives a good minute or three before the little red seatbelt/chime thing happens. I too would get annoyed.

Do other Raptors have this happen?

Yes.

The green seatbelt warning, seriously... why in the world did someone decide to put a huge seatbelt warning message FOR ALMOST A FULL MINUTE in the middle of the screen that tells you you're already buckled in?????
It should ONLY be red and turn off when everyone buckles in, just like every other automobile in the WORLD.
Please send an over the air update and ditch this.
error messages like above or "for off road use only" or having to reset all the configurable modes could be considered a safety issue, distracted driving while clearing unnecessary messages along with resetting the exhaust, suspension, steering and even the dash display that defaults to a menu every time you restart like it was purposly designed to be a rental could be an opportunity for lawyers to be involved. You can say that a person should sit there for a couple of minutes EVERY TIME they start, wait for and clear all the warnings then reset all customizable items but that goes against human nature, we get in, start, buckle and drive then get really annoyed and distracted that we have to scroll through the menu to get "off road" back on the dash.....etc.

stepping off the soapbox now lol....
