FORD 2003 Crown Victoria v.1 - Manual (Page 109)

Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the Belt
Minder chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the risk of
injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the Belt
Minder feature please follow the directions stated below.
One time disable
If at any time the driver/front passenger quickly buckles then unbuckles,
the BeltMinder feature for that seating position is disabled for the
current ignition cycle. The BeltMinder feature will re-enable during the
same ignition cycle if the occupant buckles and remains buckled for
approximately 30 seconds. Confirmation is not given for the one time
disable.
Deactivating/activating the BeltMinder feature
Read steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.
