Belt warning for the driver and front

passenger

Regardless of whether the driver's and front-

passenger seat belts have already been

fastened, the ü seat belt warning lamp

lights up for six seconds each time the engine

is started. It then goes out if the driver and

the front passenger have fastened their seat

belts.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when

the engine is started, an additional warning

tone will sound. The warning tone goes out

after approximately six seconds or once the

driver's seat belt is fastened.
If after six seconds the driver or front

passenger have not fastened their seat belts

and the doors are closed, the ü seat belt

warning lamp lights up:

until the driver's or front passenger's seat

belt is fastened

if a vehicle speed of 15 mph (25 km/h) is

exceeded, a warning tone also sounds with

increasing intensity for a maximum of

60 seconds or until the driver or front

passenger have fastened their seat belts.

If the driver/front passenger unfasten their

seat belt while the vehicle is in motion, the

ü seat belt warning lamp lights up and a

warning tone sounds again.
The warning tone ceases even if the driver or

front passenger have still not fastened their

seat belt after 60 seconds. The ü seat belt

warning lamp stops flashing but remains

illuminated.
After the vehicle comes to a standstill, the

warning tone is reactivated and the ü seat

belt warning lamp flashes again if the vehicle

speed again exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h).
The ü seat belt warning lamp only goes

out if:

both the driver and the front passenger

have fastened their seat belts.
or

the vehicle is stationary and a door is open.

For more information on the ü seat

belt warning lamp, see "Warning and

indicator lamps in the instrument cluster,
