ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

several times recently, while driving, a warning bell sounds yet there is no light on the dash to tell me what is wrong. i checked the manual, nothing. it sounds like the ding you hear when your seatbelt isn't fastened. i thought perhaps i hadn't properly fastened my seatbelt, that wasn't it. so if my car thinks my seatbelt isn't fastened, then if i have collision would it think i was driving and protect me with my airbag.- or not?
