Question Upon starting - RED ! triangle

Hey Guys,

When you FIRST start your car, do you guys get a RED ! triangle that says, "wear seatbelt" or w/ever about the seat belt? I just noticed that, and wanted to know if it's a normal sign, at least the RED ! triangle.

As others have said, the RED ! Triangle/Seatbelt warning is perfectly normal. However if you see a BLACK Triangle, that means the car has measured your pulse rate and blood pressure and determined that you are probably dead and therefore don't need to fasten the seat belt.
