Seatbelt reminder

Visual reminder in the roof console.

A visual reminder is given in the roof console and by means of the warning symbol in the driver display.

The type of visual reminder (fixed or flashing) and audible reminder (various signals) is dependent on the speed, driving time and distance.

 Note

The seatbelts built into child restraint systems are not included in the seatbelt reminder system.

Reminders or information are provided by graphics in different ways depending on the belt position.

For the front seat and rear outer seats:
  • a reminder is given when the driver or passenger is not wearing a seatbelt while the car is in motion
  • a reminder is given when a seatbelt is removed while the car is in motion
  • information is given on which seat belts are in use (or not).

 Note

If the seatbelt reminder is activated by a child seat on an outer seat in the rear seat that is not attached with the seatbelt, the reminder can be acknowledged, or the seatbelt can be attached.
For the rear centre seat:
  • a reminder is given when the seatbelt is removed while the car is in motion
  • information is given on whether or not the seat belt is in use.

Reminders for doors, bonnet and tailgate

If the bonnet, tailgate or a door is not closed properly, the driver display's graphics show what is open. Stop the car in a safe place as soon as possible and close the source of the warning.
