Check Back Seat Warning

Just a couple weeks ago or more, I started to get this CHECK BACK SEAT FOR OCCUPANTS warning. Just after I hit the start/stop button, the screen lights up and shows a back seat with the obnoxious boing boing boing.

This happens with the seats folded up, with them down. All the time when they're empty. Even before when I had people sitting in the rear, I never got this obnoxious warning.

Is this a new Ford software update? Can it be turned off?

Thanks in advance. Yes, I did check the search box for different variants of this title, but nothing relevant came up.

Today I test drove the F350 I ordered and when I shut it off I got that same message and laughed at how could someone be so dumb. But I have been a paramedic for almost 30 years and nothing surprises me. When I made a comment about it to my salesman he said it can be turned off. I said, "Good". LOL

you can shut it off on the sync screen, forget how but I think it is under setting. Probably in the owners manual.

It is a new nanny thing.

to turn it off, it's under sync settings. It turns itself back on in 6-12 months, repeat.

Thanks for the replies guy...

I've had the truck just short of a year now. Must be it thinks I need help.

I'll go into the sync menu and see what damage I can do...

Thanks again, Dan

You think it is dumb. It is obviously to try to prevent people from leaving their young children to die in the vehicle in temperature extremes.

It may be stupid to some but I know if 2 incidences where friends left dogs in back seat in hot Florida weather and dogs died. Both dogs were taught to ride in the back seat. One of these dogs was the mother of my Jack Russel. These were not stupid people.
