Thanks to Sachin Wankhade for sending this information in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP page!

Is there anyone on this forum whose Marazzo DOES NOT have a passenger seat belt warning? I have a 2018 Marazzo M8 and I do not have this feature on my car!

Check your passenger seat, you may also have faced the unplugged wire issue like Sachin above. :)

Wow that is scary. Some serious issue this. And rightly pointed out, this might even affect the airbag deployment.
I will check this and will surely register my complaint with Mahindra if required.

So, I checked again with a passenger seated and without. It does not make a warning sound like for the driver's seatbelt.
The warning light on the dash though, keeps on even if no one is seated in the co passenger seat.
But, it never beeps for the passenger, only for the driver.

My father-in-law's 2019 Marazzo M6 has the same passenger seatbelt buzzer issue. He e-mailed Mahindra Customer Care about the issue after the local Mahindra workshop expressed their helplessness over the issue and instead told him that as there was no weight sensor under the seat and the seatbelt buzzer would trigger anyway, to permanently keep the passenger seatbelt inserted in its slot to stop the buzzer!!!!

This was the pathetic reply from Mahindra Customer Care, wherein they are trying to hide behind the new CMVR regulations, instead of accepting their goof up:
Even my 2009 i20 had a weight sensor under the front passenger seat, which would trigger off the alarm if the front passenger didn't belt up. So I find it extremely silly of Mahindra to have skipped on the weight sensor inadvertently or otherwise. Needless to say, it is an extremely annoying issue. I don't think anyone in Mahindra realises how silly it looks on a 15+ lakh car!!!!

I dont think this is a goof up (as I thought before), looks more like a knowingly done thing - a case of saving a few rupees in manufacturing cost. Afterall, its the indian customer, he is anyway used to hearing a cacophony of noises from the traffic around, why bother to silence some "ding ding" noises ?

I think Mahindra has resolved the issue by an ECU update.
I did the 10k service recently and I mentioned this issue to my service adviser. He said it'll be gone after the ECU flash.
Pre-update, my car used to just buzz for the driver's seat belt and not for the passenger. And now it doesn't make any noise for any seat belt. It just shows the warning light on the instrument cluster.

Lately found this thread, my car (M6) has this passenger seat belt warning buzz alarm issue from Day 1 (23-Nov-2018). Will get this checked at service center and update you fellow BHPians.

BTW, I saw many users who faced this issue from this thread but none updated about the issue status. Hope the problem is rectified to everyone.:thumbs up

I took delivery of a 2019 November built Marazzo M2 in December. The passenger seat belt warning has been working fine. Start driving with a passenger not wearing the belt, it starts beeping. No issues observed.

Update: Still no buzzing for passenger seat belt. It beeps for the driver, and only sometimes yells at me asking me to wear the belt.

Driver side seat belt warning is a must and common thing that should and will happen anyways. My passenger side seat belt warning is now not giving any beeps or sounds from some time. I thought I must have turned off the seat belt option but I'm wrong. Seat belt option is in ON mode, may be the service center persons might have disconnected the cords underneath the passenger seat to disable the warnings.

Ideally it's the seat sensor that should do the job, now the seat belt warning do not come even if the passenger do not put on the seat belt. What a mess Mahindra has done here..
