Maybe this is the Anton Yelchin prevention device, just in case the seat occupancy detector fails.

Anyone tried backing up without their seatbelt on?
I was moving the ID.4 from one spot to another in my driveway today and I didn’t bother putting on my seatbelt on since I wasn’t leaving my property. After a few feet the car lurched to a halt with audible locking of the rear parking brake and lots of warning lights on the dashboard. Figuring it was a fluke with hyperactive cross traffic alert or something I put it it reverse again with the same result. i buckled my seatbelt and it backed up just fine.
PSA: always wear your seatbelt when actually driving on public roads.

I am guessing you turned and looked back when reversing. It seems to have the same system as Tesla. Tesla automatically shifts into Park whenever two or more of the following conditions are met simultaneously while traveling slower than approximately 1.5 mph:I was moving the ID.4 from one spot to another in my driveway today and I didn’t bother putting on my seatbelt on since I wasn’t leaving my property.

• The driver's seat belt is unbuckled.
• The occupancy sensor in the driver's seat does not detect an occupant.
• The driver's door is opened.
It's common to happen when backing up as turning around will trigger the seat detection.
Ever more "Nanny" devices to protect us from ourselves and our distracted driving. 😕 Very understandable for manufacturers to be litigation risk averse.
My X5 does the same thing, which really ticks me off as the car is a bi$%^ to see to back up at night. It is much easier to see with the door open looking out the back. But the "nanny" won't let me. I understand there is a way to code it out on the X5, but I haven't found it yet.
I have not, but my Salesman described having the same exact things happen when moving mine on the lot preparing for my delivery.I was moving the ID.4 from one spot to another in my driveway today and I didn’t bother putting on my seatbelt on since I wasn’t leaving my property.

Good to know. I always twist my body around to look back when reversing, and I'm a smaller guy, so I'd be setting this off all the time - although buckling up is such a habit I tend to do it without thinking even if I'm just moving the car down the driveway.I am guessing you turned and looked back when reversing.

I just experienced somewhat the same. Except I tried to back up and seat belt off. I opened the door and the car went immediately into park.

Good thing I have a level driveway.
It happened to me just now. I was backing up the car into the garage without buckling up, and it lurched and locked up. I think a message like “this feature is not enabled “ flashed on the screen. Anyway, I am glad I am not the only one experiencing it.I was moving the ID.4 from one spot to another in my driveway today and I didn’t bother putting on my seatbelt on since I wasn’t leaving my property.

I watched you video on the seat belt safety I noticed you have 332 miles to go on the charge. First, why when everywhere we are told to charge to max 80 I did charge mine one time to 100% but only just over 300 miles
I guess I’m the odd one out here. I back out of the driveway and buckle up usually as I start to drive past my neighbor’s house. Never have a problem. I usually always back out at stores and then buckle up as I start to drive … I’ll test the distance. My wife when a passenger will get out of the car, get our mail and I will driver her a block to our home without buckling up.
I think the issue comes into play when you lift your butt off your seat while unbuckled. As mentioned in a previous post:I guess I’m the odd one out here.

Tesla (ID.4 as well) automatically shifts into Park whenever two or more of the following conditions are met simultaneously while traveling slower than approximately 1.5 mph:

• The occupancy sensor in the driver's seat does not detect an occupant.
• The driver's door is opened.
