It only does that if you're not wearing the belt.
At least it's how it is on the F25.
Did you shut off the engine, or just open the door?

Try moving/driving it with the door open.

Sure, just like a golf cart.

I dont like the retracting aspect. Also dont like the look of it.

On the other hand, I like the sound of Auto-Starting, Auto-Stopping, Parking brake engagement, etc all in one step. While not a pain it hit the Start button, then the parking brake, then the gear selector (really simple), just putting it into gear would make life simpler. I like that.

Simple left us a long time ago when computers entered production cars.
