I think it means that no rear belts are being used. It shows every time you turn on the car and then disappears.
Don't know what would you code about it?
Sorry, it never shows on my car EVER. That's why I am asking what that is. It is a useful feature but not for the US spec F10. I am wondering where I can enable it.
I also checked that the seat belts icons work. If I have a rear passenger, and when they hook their seat belt, the particular icon (one of the 3) lights up in green.
More to the point, we need to find the parameter as it does not seem to be this one !
I found the way to activate the rear seat belt indicator in US spec cars. I had a few candidates, but I needed to get home to try them before jumping again to conclusions.
The default is inaktiv. It can be changed to 2_sitze (for two passengers in the back) or to
3_sitze (for three passengers)
It lights up for about a minute in the dashboard after you start the car and then it goes off. It still have to test it with rear passengers (no kid at home any longer). Hopefully fhinfo you can test this.

I do NOT have an extended display and I have this icon. I do have kids and when anyone take their seatbelt off while driving, it lights up with an audible warning.
That looked right. No? Or is it supposed to go off unless someone is sitting in one of the rear seats without a belt? What should it do if someone is sitting in one of the rear seats with a belt?
But I still need additional testing. Since I am pretty a lonely guy, I am gonna find someone to sit at rear seat and fasten the seat belt, then see what will be happened.
Finally, I found someone to be my passenger in the rear seat and did the test. Unfortunately, no go! The reminder never change even though the rear passenger fastened the seat belt or unfastened after fastened. The indicator remain the same status. My guess is maybe we didn't activate the sensor at the rear seat or there is NO sensor at all?
Having pulled my rear seats out multiple times I can tell you that my US spec 528 doesn't have rear seat or seatbelt sensors. There's no extra wires running into the seatbelt lock buckles or any wires that get disconnected to pull out the rear seat bottom. If you look on realoem, EU countries have a "For vehicles with Extra package, EU-specific," package associated with their rear restraint systems so unless the US sensors are super-duper bluetooth or have some other style of communicating with the car, my guess is the rear seat belt notification option is a hardware as well as coding issue.
On an associated note. It's really easy to remove the rear seat if you have the non-split rear seats. Just grab it on each front corner (bottom pad) and pull up. It's just held in with a compression clip. The rear seat back uses tabs on the upper rear portion and two torx bolts at the bottom of the seat back. Fun weekend project to learn more about your car. If you have the split rear seats it's a little more complicated, but not much more.

but if you try to change it to "10b" or "01b" it will be saved with "010b" and "001b"
it adds automaticly a zero in front of the entered value
i think 02 is correct so far
