  • Anyone got a Renault

    OK so today we went shopping in Renault Modus (Clio) and Mrs forgot to put the seat belt on, I get a light on dash and audible warning as soon as I get over a certain speed (around 5mph) if I don't fasten belt but what I cannot recall is does it or should it also put light on and sound buzzer if passenger has not fastened there seat belt. Further if it should would it be a MOT fail?

    Doubt they’d even test it. Don’t tend to go above 5mph on an MOT!

      No it would not be an mot failure, because it's more of a reminder system rather than a safety system, and not every car has that kind of reminder system installed.
      My wife's qashqai has that system installed for all 5 seat belts
      Rather than my 9-3s have audiable and light for drivers and just a light for the front passenger
      My vectra has just a light for both fronts

        Thanks guys also having done some googling for parts list it looks like there is only the drivers side seat belt holder that has a switch.

            Mmmm could be due to higher spec of yours, I,m going to have a look see if there is any wires to belt holder/clip When sun gets round and warms things up a little.

              Not sure. I was under the impression anything with a passenger airbag had to have warning?

                Ok just looked and only drivers side has wire going into seat belt clip so nothing to fix, that said I have just seen a set of leather seats for sale and tempted (do like mi leather).

                        The MOT testing manual is available online.

                        Inspection processes and rules for car, private bus and light commercial vehicle (class 3, 4, 5 and 7 vehicle) MOT tests.


                        I don't see anything about seatbelt warning systems at all - no 'If fitted, must be working' comments like for abs etc.
