The scanning device is positioned where the first and second light paths intersect, to alternately scan the field of view of the light sensor across the scene as viewed from the first and second point of sight. The scanning device comprises a resonance-type micro-mechanical mirror (38), mounted on first torsion bars (40, 40') defining a first tilting axis and an actuator (36) for driving the micro-mechanical mirror in angular oscillatory motion about the first tilting axis. The scanning device has a neutral position, in which the first and second light paths are deviated by the scanning device into a first and second direction, respectively. The light entrance is arranged in the bisecting plane of the first and second directions.

The control unit comprises an electromagnetic induction transmitting circuit and an electromagnetic induction receiving circuit. The modulation circuit is capable of modifying an influence of the resonant circuit on electromagnetic coupling between the transmitting circuit and the receiving circuit in a specific way according to the seat belt related status, which enables the receiving circuit to deliver a signal depending on the seat belt related status to the control unit.
