I'd agree, except the red dot turns white when I fasten my seatbelt.... it shows two white dots when there is a front seat passenger buckled up. It also shows three back seats, will have to take a look when I have passengers in the back.

If the car icon and airbag icon disappear after you start driving, then everything is normal.
If the red airbag icon stays on while driving, then you should visit a Volvo workshop.

Well you’ve answered your own post. It’s seatbelts!
Mine doesn’t have this icon as the seatbelts are shown on the bigger display of the car when you start it

Yes, I get the big display too. But the little one stays on sometimes for a minute or so after the big one has gone. Just wondering why.

JFDIT, how new is your car? Maybe it's just in the latest version?

Delivered last week. It's an MY22.

So it may be a new feature MY22, where most of us are MY21 or earlier. Have you checked the manual for your year?

The icon is similar with the one found in the Android Automotive system on the Polestar 2 driver display.

Yep, same icon. Clearly the car knows something we don't!

For me, it is definitely a seat belt warning. If I don't belt-up before starting the engine, I get a red dot in the driver's seat; if I do belt-up, I get a white dot. If I lean across and put weight on the front passenger seat before starting, I also get a red dot on that side of the icon.

The icon is generally displayed for only a few seconds before being replaced by the large "belts-on, doors-open pictogram", but the time does vary; this morning at second start-up it stayed there for some time.

No description in any of the manuals or online info that I can find, though.
