Hi,
i just saw on German flea bay, the sale of a dummy seat belt ... now in principle that it not very new and interesting ... part of thetext that came with it kinda was tho ...

"Sein Hauptnutzen liegt darin, den lÃstigen Anschnall-Alarmton zu unterdrücken, Wenn dieser nicht erwünscht wird. Der Alarm ist GrundsÃtzlich eine sinnvolle Idee und sollte ursprünglich der Sicherheit dienen. Jedoch reicht bereits bei vielen PKW-Modellen das Gewicht einer Flasche Mineralwasser auf dem Beifahrer- oder Rücksitz aus, um den Alarm auszulösen. Kurzstreckenfahrer sind teilweise von der Gurtpflicht befreit.... Es gibt viele Gründe...."
According to this it claims that even a small bottle of water or anything else placed on the passenger or back seats, will set of the seat belt alarm ... a winter coat or gloves could do the trick at this time of the year ...
Can anyone who had issues, confirm if their seats were full empty? Or maybe something might have triggered the alarm?
And IF there is a weight trigger ... there can be a fault somewhere at any time ... maybe even by lowering the seats down and putting them back up again ... wires should be properly secured ... but wouldn't be the first time ... food for thought ...
