Belt warning for drivers and co-drivers
The 7 seat belt warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster is a reminder for all occupants to
fasten their seat belts. It may light up contin-
uously or flash. A warning tone may also
sound.
Regardless of whether the driver has already
fastened their seat belt, the 7 seat belt
warning lamp lights up for 6 seconds each
time the ignition is switched on. After the
engine is started, it goes out as soon as the
driver's seat belt had been fastened.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened after
the engine is started, an additional warning
tone will sound. This warning tone switches
off after a maximum of 6 seconds or once the
driver's seat belt is fastened.
If a vehicle speed of 15 mph (25 km/h) is
exceeded and the driver has still not fastened
their seat belt, a warning tone sounds again.
The warning tone sounds for 60 seconds or
until the driver has fastened their seat belt.
