Anyone had this problem. Was driving this morning when suddenly seat belt alarm started sounding when I went round bends or corners. Won't go away now!

Probably a faulty sensor - haven't heard of this probem though

I didnt realise there was a seatbelt alarm - I dont seem to have one - Should I???

Visited dealership on Friday and they hadnt had any problems with JUKES although they did have recalls on some (documented on site already)

Take it back - cant be too much of a hassle to fix

Yes you'll have an alarm. If you drive off without fastening your belt it will alarm after a minute or two to remind you!

just a point did you have anything on the passenger seat like a bag ? this will trip the occcupied sensor so telling car passenger not belted

So keep passenger seat belted at all times?

Get it back to the dealer, in the meantime disconnect the sensor under the seat.

I often put my shopping on the passenger's seat when i only have a bit which always trips the seatbelt warning. Very annoying, wish you could turn it off!

Yes, my dog sometimes triggers it. The answer is to keep the belt fastened.

Ohh - I drove off last week without the seatbelt and was halfway up the road before noticing... Will need to recheck today as no alarm sounded..

It definately should alarm Fee. Just drove mine again with nothing on passenger seat this time and everything was fine. Obviously occupied seat sensor is a bit too sensitive if it thinks a bag is a person.

Two or more bags on my passenger seat and mine always goes off. Found out today there's an alarm if hand brake not fully released. Btw I did take it off but obviously not 100%. Still good to know

After a very stressful drive home with the constant beeping again, I would like to thank you for these posts. Will avoid placing bags on passenger seat in future in the hope that my sanity will be restored. 3 times my Juke has been back to the dealer to replace "faulty sensors" and I have just learned from this forum that it was weight on the passenger seat!!!! Doesn't help to restore my faith in the main dealers for repair.

Bags

I have a double hook from ASDA which attaches by another hook round the headrest post. It's perfect for both handbags, backpacks and shopping bags, as it keeps them off the seat.

Like this, but cheaper:
