Startup Chime

[Suprawill1]

Is there a way to turn this freakin' thing off? I wouldn't mind under normal circumstances but sometimes it's telling me the hill assist isn't working or the traction control or the adaptive cc etc.
When that happens, it chimes 3 times for each function, including the seat belt and the fact that the TPMS isn't working. I then have to sit through a series of at least 15 chimes, sometimes more.
It's aggravating to say the least.

I understand the TPMS warning but the others happen almost every other day. I would say Chinese torture but it's an American car.
Any help is appreciated! Maybe turning it off is a Ford Pass thing, don't know.

Suprawill1,

Not sure this will work but doesn't the OK button acknowledge the warnings and stop the noise?

HTH.

Thanks for the reply!
The OK flags appear consecutively on the instrument cluster for each function. Once you ok one, the next appears and there's no stopping them.
When I determine that it's going to happen, I immediately turn the engine off and open the door to turn off the display but it takes its course no matter what.

There isn't any global fix that I know of.

You can definitely disable the seat belt chime with Forscan or using the "buckle unbuckle" method.

The other's will probably need to be actually fixed. TPMS is a relatively inexpensive one. Hill assist can be enabled or disabled in settings, but it may not fix the chime.
