The light is simply indicating that the seatbelt pre-tensioners are being checked. when the light goes out, all is OK.

If the light stays on then there is a problem.

MINI should have been able to tell you this though.

I've just picked up my new MCS and have read the manual regarding the seatbelt light. It does state that it should remain lit until the seatbelts have been locked. As you originally stated, this does not happen. - I was wrong, but it seemed a feasible explanation.

Furthermore, how would it know if there was anybody sat in the rear seats or front passenger seats ?

Mine (2006 One with Sat Nav - UK) goes off after 2 secs and remains off - no matter if I have seatbelt on or not....deos seem weird - all the other cars I have had before sit there and flash, bong whatever until you buckle up. Quite nice not to be shouted at by the car tbh...
