Seatbelt Reminder Light

Informational - status, not a fault

seatbelt warning light · fasten seatbelt light

What it means

The system has detected that the driver or a passenger is not wearing a seatbelt, usually combined with a chime.

Common causes

  • Driver or passenger seatbelt not fastened
  • Heavy object on a passenger seat triggering the occupancy sensor
  • Faulty seatbelt buckle switch (if the light stays on with the belt fastened)

What to do

Buckle up. If the light stays on with the seatbelt clearly fastened, the buckle switch may need replacing.

Can you keep driving?

Yes, this is a reminder, not a fault, but always wear your seatbelt regardless of the light.
