SBA (Seat Belt Alert) SYSTEM
The SBA system warns front seat and
rear seat (GTA versions only) passengers
that their seat belts are not properly
fastened via visual warnings (warning
lights on in the instrument panel and
icons on the display) and an acoustic
warning (see the following paragraphs).
FRONT SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
BEHAVIOUR
When the ignition device is turned to the
ON position, warning light
(see fig. 111)
comes on for a few seconds, regardless
of the status of the front seat belts.
With vehicle at a standstill, if the driver
side seat belt or the passenger side
seat belt (with occupant seated) is
unfastened, the warning light stays on
constantly.
111
06066S0001EM
As soon as the threshold of 5 mph
(8 km/h) is exceeded for a few
seconds (variable according to the car
conditions) with driver or passenger
side (with passenger seated) seat belts
unfastened, an acoustic warning is
activated together with the flashing of
the warning light
for approximately
105 seconds.
When this cycle of warnings is activated
it will stay on for its entire length
(regardless of the vehicle speed) or until
the seat belts are fastened again.
When the reverse is engaged, during the
cycle of warnings, the acoustic signal
is deactivated and the
warning light
turns on fixed. The cycle of warnings
will be reactivated as soon as the speed
exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h) again.
REAR SEAT BELT ICON BEHAVIOUR
(GTA versions only)
The icons are shown on the instrument
panel display fig. 112 after a few seconds
have elapsed since the ignition device
is turned to ON and disappear after
approximately 30 seconds.
After a door closes, or following a change
in seat belt fastening status, the icons
are shown again for approximately 30
seconds before disappearing.
The icons shown on the display indicate:
1 - rear left seat belt ;
2 - rear central seat belt (where
provided);
3 - rear right seat belt .

The icons are displayed according to
the corresponding seat belts in the rear
seats, and stay on for about 30 seconds
from the last seat belt status change:
if the seat belt is fastened the
corresponding icon will be green;
if the seat belt is unfastened the
corresponding icon will be red.
If a rear seat belt is unfastened, an
acoustic warning (3 "beeps") will be
activated along with the relevant icon
lighting up in the display.
Furthermore the icons will light up again
for 30 seconds each time one of the rear
doors is closed.
The visual indication (flashing red) will
start and stop independently for each
warning light if several seat belts are
unfastened.
