Seat Belt Reminder Indicator Symbols

Seat Belt Reminder

These are Seat Belt Reminder Indicator symbols. Either may appear in the center of the reminder light for the driver or to the right as a passenger reminder. The second version, showing two belted occupants, indicates either the driver or passenger is unbuckled. The third, adding the number 2, points to the front passenger. Regardless, the indicators simply want you to put on your seat belt or belts.

• Is one of these really your symbol?? If yes, then continue on.
• Otherwise return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

For some reason, one manufacturer has added the blue symbol to indicate that a person seated and the seat belt is fastened. Evidently, the fact that the red indicator is not on is not sufficient to indicate that the person’s seat belt is fastened.

This is a Rear Seat Unoccupied Indicator. The light is used to show the driver that a rear seat is unoccupied and he or she does not need to be concerned that a seat belt is unbuckled. It is part of a scan of all seats and seat belts and appears in black and white.

There have since been a large number of these, like those to the right. We’ve addressed them on a separate page. Click here for more.
