The corresponding warning lamp is:
"FASTEN SEAT BELT".
This warning lamp (only in some countries) lights up for about 6
seconds when the ignition is switched on as a reminder to fasten
your seat belts.
If the seat belt is not fastened an acoustic signal will sound after
switching on the ignition which will stop after about 6 seconds or
when the seat belt is fastened.
⇒"Seat belts" chapter.K
Priority 2 (yellow symbols)
An acoustic signal will sound if a yellow symbol appears. The
symbol is an indication of danger. The function must be checked as
soon as possible. If there are several failures at the same time, the
symbols will appear consecutively for about 2 seconds.
