    Default seatbelt warning light

    just a quick question about the seatbelt warning light will it only activate if im driving the car above 25km without being buckled up or so or should it come on with just the engine is running?

    that's no true if driving under 25 kph or in reverse you do not need to wear a seatbelt

    a VT doesn't have that warning or does it i will check on my VX tomorrow

    The seat belt warning only lights up for a few seconds when you first start the car, as a reminder. It doesn't light up if you unbuckle your seat belt.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    My VX light just comes on for a few seconds then goes off regardless.

    According to the Australian Road Rules, any time the car is moving you need to wear a seatbelt [rule 264] unless you're reversing [264(2)(a)]. The 25km/h thing only appears to come into it if you're a delivery driver [267(2)].
