Government Mandates More Annoying Car Beeping for Safety

## Summary

Starting March 2025, new rules will make cars, trucks, and buses warn you if rear seat passengers aren’t buckled up, plus beef up front seat belt reminders. These changes affect most vehicles under 10,000 pounds and aim to keep everyone safer on the road. Car makers have until late 2026 and 2027 to follow the new rules, with some extra time for special manufacturers.

## Abstract

This document amends Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant crash protection," to require a seat belt use warning system for rear seats. The rule also updates and enhances the current seat belt warning requirements for the driver's seat belt and extends these requirements to the front outboard passenger seat. The final rule applies (with some exceptions) to passenger cars, trucks, most buses, and multipurpose passenger vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less. This document also makes related amendments to FMVSS No. 101, "Controls and displays."
