Seat Belt Warning Light Clarification....how should it work?

Hello all, car is an '87 Carrera Coupe

I searched and couldn't find a true answer as to how the seat belt warning light should work. There's nothing in the Bentley regarding how it should operate, although for all I know mine may be operating as it should;

When I turn on the ignition, the seat belt/emergency brake/parking brake lights illuminate and the warning buzzer sounds.

After I start the engine, the buzzer stops and at the same time the seat belt lamp extinguishes (roughly 7-8 seconds) so it seems they are on a common relay which jives with the Bentley diagram. It doesn't seem to matter whether the seat belt has been put in the clasp or not.

It doesn't come on when I am driving, so I have no concerns re the VR etc.
Hopefully someone with better knowledge can enlighten me

Thanks,
Neil

Sounds normal for a Carrera.


FWIW, I killed both the buzzer and light. I hate things that tell me what to do....
