Speak up when someone in the back unbuckles
If any belt comes undone while the car is moving, you hear a clear spoken warning instead of just a chime.
WHEN
Seatbelt — Any seatbelt unbuckled
AND IF
- Vehicle Speed — Speed above 5 mph (8 km/h)
THEN
- Voice Announcement — “A seatbelt just came undone.”
Why it’s useful
A chime tells you something is wrong; a sentence tells you what. Useful with kids who have learned to work the buckle.
How to set it up
- Open AutomationsWith the car in Park, open the App Launcher on the touchscreen and tap Automations.
- Create a new automationTap “Create an automation”.
- Set the trigger: SeatbeltUnder Trigger, open Seatbelts and pick Seatbelt. Set it to: Any seatbelt unbuckled.

Menu names come from the English strings found in current firmware and may change slightly at launch. There is no way to import automations, so you build each one on the touchscreen. Full walkthrough
Limits to know
- Automations only run while the center screen is on, and never while Autopilot or FSD is engaged.
