Not heard of this one before.

I tried a search too and came up with nothing.

strange... i thought it was just a "dumb" reminder light, not actually a warning of anything. might be fault with the seatbelt pre-tensioner things?

I think it might be the airbag warning light...can't remeber exactly what the symbol was but I had the airbag light come on, but I remeber thinking it was misleading. I had a problem with a cable or connector or something from the airbag that caused the light to come on. Dealer sorted it.

I think I have the manual in the car so if I have 2 spare mins at lunch I'll have a look.

If you remove the airbag fuse / have total power failure without first disconnecting the airbag connector from under the seat the light will always stay on until it is reset at the dealers - Did this happen??
