My car does not bong when i have not got my seatbelt on? Is this right?
-
mine doesn't until I'm driving!? (not sure if it's time delay.... but think it may be to do with speed i.e once above 5 - 10mh it starts bonging / binging) :laugh:
-
My doors locks at 10mph, my door mirrors go back up after a reverse at 10mph, just about everything else happens at 10mph, but no seat belt bong, bing, ding or dong!
-
Sounds wrong to me! Does the display tell you to fasten seatbelt?
-
You are lucky then, the seatbelt bong drives me nuts. Especially when my mate gets in the car who never puts a seatbelt on immediately.
-
no seat belt sensors or occupancy sensors with the Recaro seats

I didnt know that! Thats my interesting but geeky 'learn something new every day" golf fact for today.

Now that rings a bell....
-
haha, let me find a SEAT to sit on, my sides are splitting!,ring any bells??? hehehe :wink:
-
I'm still waiting for mine.
If it goes bong can I change it through the Highline and get a bing.

You mean a bong..
-
Bit late in the reply, but thanks for info. I am lucky, if i had a bong then i would probably ring its neck!
-
Only noticed this today :embarassed:
My TDI bonged and binged as soon as I got in the car and turned on the ignition if I didn't have my seatbelt on, or if my passenger didn't have theirs on. My ED30 only bong bings once it is travelling over around 10mph. Much better IMO :smiley:

Are you sure. I have the same seats in my new RS4, and thought I noticed the seatbelt warning light go on and off when Mrs Tamer got in and out!
I try to try that out again!
-
With the cost of those RS4's, i would expect the seatbelt to play a little tune instead of just a bong like us poor people's cars!

I was told that by the local dealer when I was looking at a GTI or R32 last year
The price list currently has this
"10 Please note front seat back storage pockets, driver’s and front passenger’s
whiplash-optimised head restraints, lumbar adjustment and seat belt
warning light are not available with ‘Recaro’ sports seats."
I think the ordinary seats have occupancy sensors, so they know if the seat is occupied...try putting a heavy bag on a standard GTI passenger seat, and the dash will start "binging" to remind you to put the seatbelt on!

Well, they sort of play a "tune" - when the bolsters automatically tighten and relax during hard cornering :tongue:
like us poor people's cars!

Yebut - the GTI/R32 Recaros arn't the same as the RS4 Recaros. Whilst they may share the same bucket "shell", the RS4 ones have a much greater range of adjustments. :wink:
