Operation
The supply is taken from fuse 5 via 29-pole red connector 152B and seat-belt warning lamp 72 to the driver's seat-belt switch 70. The switch connects the warning lamp to earth, and the warning lamp will thus light up. When the seat-belt buckle is inserted into the lock, the switch will open the circuit and the lamp will be extinguished.

Seat switch 69 is connected in series with seat-belt switch 71 on the co-driver's side. The seat switch will close when a load is applied to the seat. The warning lamp with thus light up only if a person is seated in the co-driver's seat and the seat belt is not fastened.

Cars for the ME market
Cars for this market are equipped with warning relay 82 and an extra seat-belt warning lamp 214, which is fitted on the centre console.

The driver's seat-belt switch 70 connects terminal GF of the relay to earth, causing the warning lamps to light up and the buzzer to sound. When the seat-belt buckle is inserted into the lock, the switch will open, the lamps will be extinguished and the buzzer will be Silenced.
