How to disable rear seat warning when vehicle shutdown!

[Cowboyflyer]

Does anyone know how to disable the rear seat (check rear seats) warning when you turn the
truck off? My wife had turned it on by accident and I can't seem to figure out how to turn it off.
I have a 23 Ranger XLT. Hope I don't have to do a factory reset!

Thanks in advance!

Seems like I did this on the bronco on one of the menus but it has to be done every 30 days or something because it came back

Very annoying every time you shut off the vehicle!

Maybe this will work

Steve,
Thank you again for your help!
It was right there in the vehicle app!
My old butt must have overlooked it, or just didn't think to look there!!

Unfortunately not all of the rangers have the capability to turn this off , while in settings some vehicles were programmed to not allow you to access the vehicle setting, thus you can’t disable this annoying feature. My 21 lariat for example does not allow me to turn off the rear passenger alert.

Once in a while I'm helpful, mostly just learning stuff or posting bad humor.

Lucky mine allowed me to do this.
it was about to drive me crazy!

I just purchased a 21 Lariat and it won’t allow me to disable.

I disabled mine not longer I first bought it in '21, and then I think one time since then. Haven't gotten the reminder in forever.

So, if you pull up this screen on the SYNC, it will not let you select it - OFF.
Note if you select it off - you will get a pop-up every 180 days - asking do you want to keep it disabled? It's on a Time-Based Cycle.

If this will not let you turn it off then we need to dig into the As-Built data to get back to a selectable option.

EDIT: Sorry Pic did not attach

I looked through my as-built data looking for the module and codes for this alert, but could not find one. If you do, please post it. 180 days isn't a big deal, but I'd rather disable it permanently.

This is how I disabled mine, and it was off for 2.5 years without asking me about it...

I enabled it in December when my kid was born. Its annoying as shit, but... better than forgetting the kiddo in the back seat.

My '21 Lariat can be disabled exactly like this. I have the Nav Sync, if that makes a difference.

EDIT: I was curious and tried it on my truck:
* If the truck is in full accessory mode (engine not running), you can access the vehicle settings.
* if the truck is only powering the sync head unit (stereo only on, no engine running), you cannot access the vehicle settings.
