Your backseats may not be latched? It reminds me of childseat warnings. Haven't seen it myself but I may go screw around and see what happens.

Definitely not "backrests not latched", they are a completely different warning symbol.

Childseat warnings. ....HMMMM. Interesting. It does show two people in the warning symbol.
I dont have baby seats installed though.

Ejector seat malfunction?

Looks like a trip to the dealer is in store for you.

I don't get the warning when people are in the backseat not buckled. Mine says "Seats not latched.." when they aren't.
I can't get it to happen in mine: Sedan.
From the sounds of it I am glad it isn't happening.

I get a similar warning everytime I start up. It lets me know when someone is belted up in the rear. I just hit ok on the wheel and it gets rid of it.

I get it too ... maybe an Aussie draconian bureaucracy thing.
Possibly some pimply-arsed anti-car push-biking dolphin-kissing vegetarian hippy who decided that all AMG drivers cant tell & don't care if they have passengers. (And in my case, he may be right).

Incase of emergency doors will be blown off.
Incase of water you can use the two back sets as floatation devices.

Duh!

It's a message from Guido.
He wants you to get rid of the two bodies in the back seat.

The common denominator here is "Aussie"

Which raises the question...... What is AMG really an acronym for ??
