What PRECISELY isn't working?

Passenger seat, driver? Is it when - like this thread asks- when a passenger sits with no belt, YOUR light doesn't activate???

Ok, lemme explain:
When I turn the key, the seat belt light turns on and off (it's normal, like all others lights, I guess). I start the car and drive away with no seat belt and the light stay off, no sound, no nothing. Not even the OBC gives me a warning message, nothing.

So, it's there a way to turn ON this feature?

Thanks, Chris

You don't have a North American vehicle. Only NA vehicles have the weight/occupancy sensor on the passenger side. Lucky you.

I do think that if you try this on the driver side, the icon will illuminate and possibly a chime may go off.

You can code this feature.

Not True, the Euro spec ones have this as well.

The weight sensor in the passenger seat? Thought it was a simple on-off switch.

Yep, weight sensor. I believe it needs the weight sensor because of the dual stage deployment air bag. It deploys less if there is a lighter person on the seat (i.e. a child in a child seat).
