2023 Ford Expedition Owners Manual - Seatbelt Reminder Indicators

Seatbelt Reminder Indicators

  This lamp illuminates if you do not fasten your seatbelt when you switch the ignition on. The lamp switches off when you fasten your seatbelt or about one minute has elapsed.

When the initial warning expires for the driver, more warnings are provided for the driver and front passenger. This lamp illuminates if you or your front passenger do not fasten the seatbelt buckle and the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Note:   To avoid inadvertent warnings, do not place large objects on the front passenger seat.

  This lamp illuminates when you switch the ignition on, identifying the number of seating positions with fastened buckles. It illuminates again when a seating position changes from unfastened to fastened.

This warning displays if an occupant unfastens the rear seatbelt buckle or it becomes unfastened.

Note:   If a rear seat is unoccupied, or an occupant never fastens the seatbelt buckle to begin with, the warning will not display.

Note:   Front seating positions appear in this warning display. Warnings for unfastened front seatbelt buckles appear in the initial warning lamp.

To view the seatbelt status, use the information cluster display controls on the steering wheel.
