Fasten safety belts reminder for the front seats

If the safety belts are not fastened when you begin driving, at a speed of over approx. 25 km/h (approx. 15 mph), or if the safety belts are unfastened during a journey, a warning chime sounds for 126 seconds when the driver or front passenger seat is occupied by an adult. The red warning light in the instrument cluster display will also blink.

When the ignition is switched on, the red warning light only turns off after all vehicle occupants have fastened their safety belts.

Fig. 2 In the instrument cluster display: Fasten seat belts reminder for the rear seats (general example).

When the ignition is switched on, the fasten safety belts reminder for the rear seats→ fig. 2 in the instrument cluster display shows the driver whether possible adult passengers in the rear seats have their safety belts fastened.

When the symbol is green, this indicates that the passenger in this seat has fastened "their" safety belt.

When the symbol is red, this indicates that the passenger in this seat has not fastened "their" safety belt.

When the symbol is white, this indicates that this seat  is not occupied.

If a rear seat safety belt is unfastened during the journey, the symbol for that seat is permanently red. The red warning light in the instrument cluster display will also blink. If driving at speeds faster than approx. 25 km/h (approx. 15 mph), a warning chime will also sound for 126 seconds.

WARNING

The fasten seat belts reminder is designed to recognize adult vehicle occupants. A seat occupied by a light person, particularly by children, may not necessarily be recognized. The fasten seat belts reminder does not react, or has limited reactions when a child seat or seat cushion is in use. This may result in failure to detect that lighter people and children do not have their safety belt fastened. They could suffer serious or fatal injuries in an accident.

• Always ensure that all vehicle occupants, especially children, have their seat belt correctly fastened.
