The seat belt reminder is activated when the upper electronic module (4/70) receives a signal from the central electronic module (4/56), via the Control area network (CAN), which indicates that the seat belt is not engaged despite someone sitting in the front seat. Data is also transmitted to the driver information module (5/1) which indicates to the driver that the seat belt is not being used in one of the front seats.
