What is the reason why the Lavida's seat belt reminder does not sound?

If the seat belt reminder of the Lavida does not sound, you can check the seat belt socket to see if the sensor in the seat belt socket is damaged. Function of car seat belts: Car seat belts are safety devices designed to restrain occupants during a collision, preventing secondary collisions between occupants and the steering wheel, dashboard, etc., or avoiding injuries or fatalities caused by occupants being thrown out of the vehicle during a collision. Introduction to car seat belts: Car seat belts, also known as seat safety belts, are a type of occupant restraint device. Car seat belts are widely recognized as the most cost-effective and efficient safety device, and their installation is mandatory in many countries as part of vehicle equipment.
I've been driving a Lavida for several years and have encountered this issue before. The seat belt warning chime not sounding is usually caused by a problem with the sensor in the buckle. The small metal piece inside can easily get worn down by the seat belt tongue, or the buckle base might have become loose. I've taken it apart myself before - that little sensor is particularly prone to dust accumulation, especially for vehicles frequently driven on construction sites. Another possibility is loose wiring connections under the steering wheel, which can happen after prolonged driving and repeated vibrations. Try cleaning inside the buckle with wet wipes and repeatedly inserting/removing the seat belt tongue several times. If that doesn't work, take it to a repair shop to have them check the sensor signals with a diagnostic computer. The repair isn't expensive but is quite important - without the warning chime, it's easy to forget to buckle up.
