Seat Belt warnings

[Gorsh]

Could someone please confirm how their seat belt warnings work on 981 models. Mine is a 2015 BGTS.

I discovered by accident a problem with my passenger seat belt warning system - my wife got in the car and I drove off, she was sending messages on her phone and suddenly noticed she hadn't fastened her seat belt, this concerned me as there had been no warning light or message and also no audible warning. No idea how long it's been faulty as we've never checked it, but I did have isofix retro-fitted a few months ago and wonder if it's since then - I switched the airbag switch on and off a few times to see if that fixed it but it didn't.
The drivers seat belt warning light works and goes out when the seat belt is fastened, but while I was writing an email to the OPC it occurred to me I hadn't checked the drivers seat belt warning properly by driving with the belt unfastened, so tonight I checked it and the warning light and MFD message work correctly, but no audible message at all, I drove up to 60 mph to be sure - so it seems I have faults on both seat belt warning systems.
Firstly I would like to be reassured I am correct in expecting a warning light and an audible warning on the drivers and passenger seat belts - the handbook says there is? I mentions that when the airbag is switched off the passenger belt warnings are disabled (makes sense as child seat would be fitted), so presumably when the airbag is on so are the warnings?

Can some of you please check and let me know how these warnings are on your cars? Would like to know on cars with and without Isofix fitted if possible.
Many thanks.
Gordon

Audible sounds can be switched on or off using PIWIS. Dont know whether individual sides can be programmed to be different though. Your OPC should be able to sort for you though in a matter of minutes

I have a 2015 981 Cayman and am not sure there is a warning system for the passenger seat. I tried it this week when I had a passenger and either there is no warning system or there is a long delay before it alarms !

Thanks for that. I would love to hear from other owners to see how theirs is. Puzzled how the owners manual says both seats are on the warning system.

My 981 has an audible warning system on both seats.

My 981 has an audible warning system on both seats.

Thanks for that Peter - do you have the Isofix kit fitted?

My CR has no passenger warning. Driver only.

Thanks for the replies so far.
To remind you all how mine is - drivers has warning light and no audible 'bongs', passenger has nothing at all. Handbook says both have warnings (light and audible). My car has had Isofix fitted by my OPC, they are claiming that the warnings had to be turned off. I argue that (according to the handbook) the airbag switch in the glovebox also switches the passenger side warnings on and off, and that the drivers side should still have warning light and audible 'bongs'.
