What is this picture trying to tell me?
One seat is grey and the other is white.
Do I have a ghost who isn't wearing their set belt

Start up image showing seats.

not in manual?

I can't find anything about it in the manual.

The figures look like kids to me, and the back seat is illuminated, so maybe a reminder to attach their seatbelts. Just a wild guess....

what country are you in?
I see KM/hr so not USA and maybe different displays elsewhere?
all can think of is "MOTHER-IN-LAW IN BACK" be careful

LOL.
I'm in Australia. The Mother in law wouldn't get in a car I'm driving.

Whoa! A benefit MB should advertise! 😎

Well..


The picture certainly make the 2 people (images) appear a tad large around the waistline.

Best,

Mark

ps I prefer the white seats.

This is the seatbelt warning. When you drive off it shows how many seats are occupied and how many seatbelts are not buckled. This is the old graphic, but a grey seat indicates that it is occupied and the two dummies indicate that two seatbelts are not buckled, which judging from the graphics are your two unoccupied rear seats. It should be three if the passenger seat is also unoccupied and/or unbuckled. This graphic is enabled in certain markets. We don't have it here in the USA. Can be disabled via coding:

Check the isofix sensors on the bench.

Yup, this appears to when you drive off to show you if the kids in the back seat have their seatbelts on. I have both back seats with ISOFIX seats on them so they always show up. Did you have something in the back seats to have it think it has people there?
