Immediately after starting the car I've noticed a white icon of a car with a dot in the driver's seat appearing next to the outside temperature icon. It disappears after a minute or so. Anyone know what it's trying to tell me?

Search the user manual for “Indicator symbols in the driver display”, there’s a list with descriptions for each icon. I can’t find any icon resembling what you’re describing, but my car/user manual might be older than yours.

Can't find it in Manual. Must be something to do with seatbelts, just hadn't noticed it before. It's the icon next to the temperature.

I think it's trying to tell you that the driver's seat is occupied, and a seat-belt isn't in use. Mine disappears very quickly, to be replaced by a similar warning on the larger car diagram in the centre of the display.

It's telling you that the airbag is activated on the passenger seat.

I've just noticed it too - cant find any reference in the manual though. Quickly disappears.

I'm referring to the icon to the Right of the temperature icon. Think it's something to do with seatbelts as others have said. Thanks for your responses.

No, the seatbelts are shown overlaid on the big car outline in the middle, it shows the seats within the car, and the offending seat in red. Try moving unbelted you'll see it.

I'm guessing it's what was said above, but the icon you mention is additional information to the air bag fault light, pointing to the seat with the fault. (It was mentioned as passenger seat, but if it's UK it's the driver seat), whatever it's front right.
