Engine management

My Grandland has been giving incorrect fault warning for a while and Vauxhall’s have had the car several times and it booked to go back in on the 27th Jan.
I have discovered quite by chance that if I drive my car about 15 feet with my seat belt off (I was moving my car off the drive) the dash board lights indicate a forward collision alert which the car doesn’t have that function. Would you like to try this and let us know if you have any similar issues as a new Grandland at the garage does the same thing.

My Grandland Sport Nav shows the light too. It means the automatic braking is disabled..... Until you put your seat belt on and is normal

Yes, my Grandland has always shown this warning light if moving car without wearing seatbelt. I've not worried about it, since working out why it is showing. This warning light also covers active emergency braking & front pedestrian protection systems.

It doesn’t actually show a seatbelt warning or chime just forward collision alert. However if the passenger is in the passenger seat a seatbelt alarm shows (strange)
