Seatbelt Reminder
The seatbelt reminder warns with light and sound when a seatbelt is not fastened.
What is Seatbelt Reminder?
It covers front and often rear seats. It uses seat occupancy sensors. Euro NCAP rewards it. Wearing a seatbelt greatly reduces the risk of death and serious injury in a crash, which is why reminders have become standard. Many cars now also show which rear seats are occupied and whether those belts are fastened. Bags on the passenger seat can trigger the reminder.
How it works
Sensors detect occupants and buckle status.
Why it matters for your car
Bypassing it is dangerous. False warnings can be caused by objects on seats.
