Second Row or Rear Seat Safety Belt Warning Indicator Symbols

Rear Safety Belts

These are Second Row or Rear Seat Safety Belt Warning Indicator symbols. In the simplest case, if a rear seat passenger is detected, the safety belt symbols come on in yellow/amber and stay on for several seconds to alert the driver that passengers may need to fasten their safety belts.

  • Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, continue on below.
  • Otherwise you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

Once the belt is buckled, the corresponding symbol in the instrument cluster will turn green. If a belt is unbuckled while the vehicle is moving, the corresponding safety belt symbol will flash red for several seconds and a chime will be heard as well.

More Versions

These versions in red belong to a manufacturers that use the lights only to warn rear seat passengers to buckle up. There are no color changes or flashes and it appears in the center display. There is however, a buzzer that will sound if a rear seat passenger is not buckled up.

The version on the left, also in red, uses a number to indicate which belt is undone, one through three. Again, there are no color changes or flashes and it appears in the center display. On the right, also in red, the image uses the word REAR and dots to represent passengers. Dots that are illuminated indicate the passenger that is unbuckled. And again, a buzzer will also sound.

This version, still in red, uses Xs and check marks. Three rows of seats are represented. When the vehicle is started, these lights come on solid to remind rear passengers to buckle up. Then each light may stay on solid or flash if the rear passenger remains unbuckled, or becomes unbuckled, when the vehicle is moving. The X indicates the seat belt is not buckled, while the check mark is used to indicate the seat belt is buckled.

And finally, these symbols, essentially a belt buckle, will show is red if a rear passenger is not belted or in green if the passenger is belted. The seats detect the presence of a passenger as any front seat does.
