Weird panel symbol
Hi, I have just received my new 520d M Sport, every time when I switch on the engine, just under the blue Efficient Dynamics symbol on the panel, there is a RED three-little-man' symbol which lights up briefly then disappears. Can't find it on the manual and wondering if u guys know what that symbol means?
Thanks! |

Does your car have night vision?

Thanks for the info! But I just thought the car should be cleverer to know that there is no back passenger, and hence only light up the 'triplet' as warning when detects the existence of back passenger. :P

In front it also sences if it is passengers in the seat so they can do the more annying warning, but I think with the differences in kids weight, how they sit and all the different child seats constructions it would be difficult to match buckled belts and passangers automamaticly in the rear. |

This is interesting. I'll try different combination tonight at the rear seat buckle and see how it would change the colour of the 'triplet' on the diaplay....

Buckle all the rear seatbelts and then have someone unbuckle one or more after the car is started. The display should briefly show you who has unbuckled

As someone with kids in the back at weekends, this is very useful.....

And this will also release a warning sound. Should have ssen the face of one of my kids who unbuckled in front of the driveway before we stopped. He thought I wouldn't have noticed ;-)
