4.3.5.1. Seat belt warning light

The Seat Belt Warning Light located in the instrument panel will immediately illuminate whenever the power switch is switched ON and any front row occupant’s seat belt is not fastened. It will also illuminate if any rear seat belt changes from fastened to unfastened, or in the case of vehicles fitted with Rear Occupant Detection if any rear occupant in the vehicle does not have their seat belt securely fastened. See Warning lights, indicator lights and audible reminders for further details.

If the vehicle speed exceeds 15 km/h (approximately 10 MPH) the light will flash and a chime will sound for at least 95 seconds or until all occupants are deemed to have their seat belts securely fastened.

All occupants are deemed fastened when all front row occupants have their seat belts securely fastened and the number of rear fastened seat belts matches the maximum number seen during the journey, or in the case of vehicles fitted with Rear Occupant Detection when all occupants have their seat belts securely fastened.

The journey is considered finished and the system will reset when either rear door is opened while the vehicle is stationary.
