The red triangle is lit while the vehicle seatbelt icon is shown to alert which seat belts are unbuckled which is especially helpful if children are seated in the third row. As long as the red triangle it lighted you cannot enter the settings menu which is a pain, but is does not sound a buzzer or prevent movement of the vehicle.
There are no settings to remove this feature, but it is unnecessary because it will automatically disappear after the vehicle is driven a distance. A likely addition by their legal counsel, just like the 10-15 ft. line of sight distance limitation on the keyfob remote start.

This feels like a defect to me, though my dealer swears that it's a "safety feature". I'm unconvinced.
The front passenger seat will show gray if the seat is empty OR if the seat is occupied AND the passenger seat belt is fastened. If someone is seated in the passenger seat and the belt is not fastened, it will display red. This is pretty normal in cars these days.
For the 2nd and 3rd row seats, they all show red - even if nobody is seated in those seats, and even if the seats are laid flat. According to the dealer, it's part of a "self test", and the display will show them all as gray after a minute.
Here's my frustration: If it's red with empty back seats, every time I start my car, and for as long as it takes me to drive away, it's teaching me to ignore red seats in the back rows. What happens when I have kids in the back rows - how can I tell which seats are occupied without belts fastened if all seats without belts fastened show red?
It's a small detail, but strikes me as flatly dangerous to have it work so much differently than the passenger seat.

The car doesn't have any occupant sensors in the rear seats. If you open a rear door, then it assumes there are people back there, but as you state, it really doesn't know if there is anyone in any particular seat. It does have sensors in the seat belt buckles, so seats with buckled belts won't be red.
I agree, t's a good idea that's not well thought-through or executed.
The front passenger seat does have an occupant sensor because that's required for the airbag occupant classification system.

I guess that’s why, at the dealership, they always latch the rear seatbelts in the empty seats.
Good question, perhaps related to a setting for this: On a test drive, we pulled into a parking lot so I could go from the 2nd to the 3rd row. Pretty sure it was in park, but not turned off. Yes, I was belted in, both times. After pulling away, my wife was very distracted by the hideous shriek of some electro-nanny that didn't like what we did, and as there was no salesman with us, we had no one to ask how to turn it off. I don't remember if she shut it off by randomly hitting buttons all over the place or it eventually timed out, but good grief was it annoying. I don't mind that the car lets the driver know that a seated passenger unlatches while moving (preferably not like a fire alarm) but once everything is buttoned up, shouldn't it turn off? ¯\( ツ)/¯
