Seatbelt reminder light
Also called: seat belt light, seatbelt warning
Safe to monitor
Fasten your seatbelt, and check that every passenger has too.
What it means
Someone in the car has not fastened their seatbelt. Heavy bags on a seat can also set it off.
Step by step
- Fasten all seatbelts.
- Move heavy bags off the passenger seat or into the footwell.
Can I keep driving?
Yes, once everyone is buckled up.
What the colours mean
Red light: a serious problem or a safety reminder.
Symbols and colours vary between makes and models. Your owner's manual has the exact list for your car. General information only. Every car is different: check your owner's manual, and if anything involves brakes, steering, tires or a burning smell, have a qualified mechanic look at it before you drive on.
