The buckle-up request is designed to detect adult persons. If a seat is occupied by lighter persons, in particular
children, the detection will not be reliable. The buckle-up request also does not respond or only in a limited way if
child seats and seat supports are used.
● Always ensure that all vehicle occupants, especially children, have fastened their seat belts properly.
The vehicle may still detect seats which have been removed but left near the
vehicle.
