As soon as a speed threshold of 20
km/h is reached, with driver side seat
belt or the passenger side seat belt
(with occupant seated) unfastened,
an acoustic signal is activated
simultaneously with symbol (1) flashing in
red for about 105 seconds.
Once activated, this indication cycle
stays active for the entire time if the car
is moving faster than 8 km/h or if reverse
gear is not engaged or until the seat belts
are fastened.
When the reverse is engaged, during the
cycle of warnings, the acoustic warning is
deactivated and the red symbol (1) turns
on fixed. The cycle of warnings will be
reactivated as soon as speed exceeds
8 km/h again.
If the car speed drops to less than
8 km/h or if reverse gear is engaged
during the warning cycle, the tone will be
interrupted and the red symbol switches
on fixed.
If the entire time has not elapsed
and reverse gear is not engaged, the
indication cycle is reactivated as soon as
the car speed exceeds 20 km/h again.
Operation of rear seat belt icons
(where provided)
Icons (2), (3), (4) fig. 125 on the instrument
panel indicate:
2: rear left seat belt
9650091
3: rear central seat belt
4: rear right seat belt
With the car travelling as speed lower
than 20 km/h, if a rear seat belt is
unbuckled, the icon stays on with fixed
light for a total of approximately 65
seconds.
The icons are displayed according to
the corresponding seat belts in the rear
seats, and stay on for about 65 seconds
from the last seat belt status change:
if the seat belt is fastened the
corresponding icon will be green
if the seat belt is unfastened the
corresponding icon will be red
If there are no passengers in one or more
rear seats, the symbol is displayed in
the corresponding position.
If the car is travelling at a speed faster
than 20 km/h and reverse is not engaged,
if a rear seat belt is unbuckled, an
acoustic warning is sounded when the
icon blinks for approximately 35 seconds.
Successively, the acoustic warning is
deactivated and the icon lights up with
fixed light until the end of the entire
cycle.
Furthermore, the icons lights up for a few
seconds whenever one of the rear doors
is opened.
With the SBA system enabled, whenever
the ignition device is moved to ENGINE,
the presence of an object on the rear
seat is detected if a rear door has
previously been opened for at least 1
second and the ignition device has been
moved to START within the previous
10 minutes. If an object is detected,
a warning message appears on the
instrument panel display suggesting to
check the rear seat for objects before
exiting the car. Furthermore, when
exiting the vehicle, a second message
appears on the instrument panel display
reminding you of the presence of objects
on the rear seat.
WARNINGS
As far as the rear seats are concerned,
the SBA system will only indicate
whether the seat belts are unfastened
