Add to all that the difference between detecting pedestrians as opposed to cars or buildings. If you look at the full manual, each has a number of specific situations where the system may not operate, as well as explanations where it should. Some camera, some radar, some sonar. The seat belt issue is not addressed that I can see in the manual, but these belts also have pre-tensioning which can activate prior to impact. Best advice, as above, is wear the belt but it may also be worth looking at the speeds and situations where each is intended to operate, or not, and how to really conduct a precise test.
