rear seatbelt P3 xc70 mod for P2 xc70?

Post by darrylrobert »

Have been thinking of adding seatbelt warning/driver alert to if/when the rear seatbelts are not being used. It is possible to install the switches in the latch but i gave up with the idea because adding occupancy sensors to the folding removable seats is problematic.

Then i found Volvo have finally installed rear this seatbelt warning on P3 xc70s, without being a Volvo programming genius to retro fit the module,i wonder if i can do a simple version using small LED pilot lights to my 2001 P2?

The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two subfunctions:

Provides information on which seatbelts are being used in the rear seat. A message appears in the combined instrument panel when the seatbelts are in use, or if one of the rear doors has been opened. The message is cleared automatically after driving for approximately 30 seconds or after pressing the indicator stalk OK button.
Provides a warning if one of the rear seatbelts is unfastened during travel. This warning takes the form of a message in the combined instrument panel along with the audio/visual signal. The warning stops when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can also be acknowledged manually by pressing the OK button.
The message in the combined instrument panel showing which seatbelts are in use is always shown. Press the OK button to see stored messages.
