A seat belt reminder encourages occupants to fasten their restraints. Depending on the vehicle, it may show a seating position or use a general light and chime. Check all occupied seats before assuming the warning concerns the driver.

Follow the manufacturer's restraint instructions. If the alert continues with the belts properly fastened, note the indicated position and whether objects are on an otherwise unoccupied passenger seat.

Do not silence the reminder with buckle inserts or defeat its sensing system. Contact The Car Clinic of Miami about a persistent warning, and continue using the restraints correctly.
