This works on all '07 Mustangs, not sure about other model years:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position.  Do not
start the engine.

2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (approximately
one minute).

3. At a steady, moderate speed, buckle then unbuckle the safety
belt 9 times.  (This step must be completed within 50 seconds of
the safety belt light turning off, or else the procedure must be
restarted.)

4. The Airbag Light will turn on for 3 seconds.  Within 7 seconds
of the Airbag Light turning off, buckle then rebuckle the safety
belt one time.

5. The Airbag Light will flash for 3 seconds to confirm a setting
change to disabled, or will flash twice for 3 seconds each to
confirm a setting change to enabled.

If it's the same as the F-250, the parking brake must also be set.

So the parking brake's got to be set while driving "at a steady,
moderate speed" as it says in step 3.  O-Tay.

It doesn't say anything about driving in step 3.

So how would you reach "a steady moderate speed" without driving and
with the parking brake on?

Replace the word "speed" with "rate" in step 3 and it might make
more sense to you.

Some things will, forever, be lost on descammisados.....

The human mind is capable of inserting words where none were to be
found..... of adding meaning where none was meant..... and of totally
ignoring what was said and adding it's own words entirely....

Sitting at the kitchen table, I ate my lunch at a steady moderate speed.....
not sure if I had the table in 2nd or 3rd gear....

At what rate was it accelerating?

Well d-oh.  The point is that "speed" is more associated with vehicle
movement, whereas "rate" is not.

Never mind...
