Seat belts in a vehicle are monitored, and a reminder is initiated in response to a restraint sensor (11, 12, 13, 14) indicating the engaged or non engaged state of a seat restraint, a vehicle sensor (15) indicating when the vehicle is in use, an annunciator (18, 19) controllably producing a reminder, and an electronic control (10) controlling the annunciator (18, 19). The reminder is produced when the seat restraint is in a non engaged state after having been an engaged state while the vehicle is in use. Thus, monitoring of the continued buckling of a seat belt, especially a rear seat belt, is provided without need for seat occupancy sensors. <IMAGE> |
