There's a much practical way - and you can do it as you drive. Just press the red button on the seatbelt buckle repeatingly - for 7-10 times may be. And then it deactivates -both the signal and the icon on the dashboard.

and an even quicker way:

here it is from the mk2 user manual........buckle up and within 3 seconds unbuckle....and that's it.

...........simples

Obviously this is a one trip fix, meaning it goes back to the default warning at the next ignition fire up. In fact it may need doing again in a jump out of the car to open a gate operation scenario.

How to activate/deactivate chime and warning light for seat belt

Working for Focus Mk2 and deactivating both. I'd really prefer to leave warning light and only turn off chimes, but it seems it always goes together, stupid solution for us who take a lot of short and slow rides. Information display has settings for different chimes, but not for this one.

does this do both seats or do you have to do passenger as well

Passenger doesnt have an alarm normally, but if they do, I believe it covers both.

i have a 2ltr automatic focus with electric start is it the same procedure for activating the seatbelt alarm? as there is no position 2 on the electric start that pos starts the engine so anybody got any ideas?

thank you

as long as the key is in the vicinity you can try it with it engine off or on.

I have a 2010 Focus push button start. where the passengers seat belt warning sounds when someone is in the seat but no mater what I have tried the drivers seat belt alarm will not work??? 

Can't you just wear your seatbelt?

My 2018 mk4 has a similar problem. I've got an isofix child's seat in the back and even if there's no child in there, it often thinks that someone's sitting in the seat triggers the no seatbelt alarm.

I'd love to deactivate the drivers alarm but keep the passenger one active, shame they are both connected...

I am unable to turn my key to ANY position. I have push button ignition activation   How can I disarm the seatbelt alarm?

Are you saying that your ignition key barrel is broken?

No, she said she has push button ignition activation so she won't have a key barrel to break. 😀

This worked for me on my 2018 focus st line.but only had to buckle and unbuckle 4times.keyless ignition so you only have to press the button to turn ignition on but don’t start the engine then follow the procedure.
