Stopping excessive warnings

Featured Replies

I have a 3 year old Ford Fiesta Titanium. All nice and dandy. But there is one thing that drives me nuts and that is the excessive warnings on the radio system. Whenever I start the car, it comes up with warnings that No Phone is Found, not connected to emergency services (or something like that) and another warning. These stop me from listening to the radio straight away, unless I press the OK button 3 times. 

Is there a way to disable these messages?

This is the 'Emergency Assist' feature which calls 112 in the event of an accident (one involving the air bags deploying or fuel pump cutting off) and reporting the fact along with your GPS coordinates. It does however require a Bluetooth-connected phone hence the warnings.

To remove the warnings you can either pair up your phone so that you can benefit from the feature (worth considering?) or you can disable it entirely in the Phone menu section of Sync which I *think* would result in it not complaining.

you can switch off emergency assist as said above.

I know of someone who recently got caught drink driving his Range Rover after he rolled it, bet he wishes he turned his off :lol:
