How to adjust the seat belt reminder sound in Nissan Qashqai?

The seat belt reminder sound cannot be turned off with buttons unless you fasten the seat belt or insert a seat belt buckle, then the sound will naturally stop. If someone is sitting in the seat, the sound will only stop when the seat belt is fastened. Below is some relevant information about the Qashqai: 1. In terms of active safety, based on ABS+EBD+BA, the Nissan Qashqai is also equipped with VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control System), commonly known as ESP. For passive safety, the Qashqai features SRS dual front airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, and a driver's seat force-limiting bidirectional pre-tensioning seat belt. 2. The Qashqai fully complies with the current National IV emission standards implemented in Beijing. The MR20DE engine, marked by its all-aluminum cylinder block and special polishing technology, runs smoothly with a maximum power of 136 horsepower and a maximum torque of 189 Nm.
My Nissan Qashqai's seatbelt reminder chime stopped working before, and I found that it might be due to a dirty or faulty sensor under the seat. The sensor in the Qashqai is located beneath the driver's seat, where dust accumulation can easily cause issues. You can try cleaning it yourself first—use a damp cloth to wipe the sensor area, or check the settings on the central control screen under vehicle settings to see if the safety reminder was turned off. I’ve tried restarting the car by turning off the engine for five minutes and then restarting it, and sometimes that fixes it. If it still doesn’t work, it’s best to replace the sensor, which usually costs around a hundred bucks. Don’t ignore this issue—the seatbelt reminder is key to protecting you from fines and points. Don’t be lazy about fixing it. Keeping the interior clean regularly can help prevent such problems.
Last time when my Qashqai's seatbelt alarm didn't sound, I immediately checked several spots. First, I looked at whether the seatbelt buckle was loose - the Qashqai's buckle is beside the seat and prone to wear from frequent use, so try reinserting it firmly. Then I went into the settings menu and adjusted the volume and alarm type in the instrument panel options, as sometimes it's set to mute by default. If neither works, you might suspect an issue with the sensor circuit, like a blown fuse. The Qashqai's fuse box is located under the hood, and you can replace it yourself with a new one. These simple checks don't take much time, but don't delay - safety comes first. My experience is that regular maintenance can reduce malfunctions. A car is like a partner - you've got to take good care of it.
