It’s because there are no occupancy sensors in those rear seats. I guess that’s why they always prep it for you at the dealership with all the seatbelts connected. They don’t want the red warning lights to be the first thing you see when you start your new car. [emoji23]

Maybe that’s the way you’re supposed to drive around – with all the seatbelts hooked up. I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone who did that.

Not that you would want 8 occupancy sensors. The one in the passenger seat of mine is on the fritz and I’ve been to the dealership three times only to find it it’s gonna eventually take them six hours to remove the entire seat just to get to the sensor which is been on back order for a couple months. I was hearing the warning chime every time I started the vehicle until I disabled it via Carista.

Mine does the same, but I used it to my advantage. I told my family the car won't go until EVERYONE is buckled up! The adults in my life were a little lazy of wearing rear seat belts. If I remember right, they buzz if removed during a trip.

 

The warning sign will disappear about a minute after of driv I think you can also press the return button on the steering wheel to exit that screen. The way I interpret the lights is if it's red then no one is sitting there and if it's gray then the passenger is buckled.

 

Mine shows the 2nd-row captain seats and the middle of 3rd-row seat (folded down) in red and nothing for the 3rd-row left and right seat or front passenger seat when I am the only one in the car. Is this a defect? Middle 3rd row seat?
