Seatbelt warning

UrbanFlow · Post by **UrbanFlow** » Tue May 29, 2012 1:31 pm

Just realised my X5 has never warned me about the seatbelt not being fastened.
I always wear a seatbelt so never thought anything of it.
The seatbelt light comes on briefly at start up and then disappears, before you fasten the seatbelt.
I turned the car round on the drive the other day without a seatbelt and there were no lights or sounds.

Can they be turned off?
Is there a fuse relevant to it?

Any help appreciated.

Turning around in drive wouldn't do it in mine as it comes on at about 10-15 mph at a guess. I have seen an option in 1.4.0 scanner to disable though

Yes they can be turned off. They activate after a certain speed or distance or both so turning it around wont make it come on. Also doesn't come on when reversing which cancels the warning. For example, I park my car in the car park over the road from work as I have no onsite parking till after 4pm. If I move my car to the staff car park and don't put my belt on the warning pings just about as I pull up to the barrier, stick it in reverse while I'm waiting for security to let me in and it cancels it.

If your car is pre facelift this is correct mine is the same.The facelift cars also get a warning in text on the dash and audiable tone the early ones dont.
