Dad's "new" 2015 Chevy 2500HD does not issue any sort of warning when the passenger is not buckled in.
However my 2015 Chevy 1500 flashes the red seatbelt light and starts chiming soon after if the passenger is not buckled in.
It may have to do with the different classes of vehicles. At one time passenger airbags were not required on Class 2b and up light trucks, so that may be a factor.
Putting 10-ply tires on half ton trucks since aught-four.
