What to Do When the Seat Belt Gets Stuck?
2 Answers
When the seat belt gets stuck, check the hinge or locking mechanism of the seat belt to see if there is any dust or foreign matter. Precautions for using seat belts: 1. Check the condition of the seat belt: If any damage or other issues are found, it should be replaced immediately. 2. One belt per person: The seat belt should be fastened across the hips and chest, spanning the pelvis and rib cage, and is for individual use only. Two people should not share one seat belt. 3. Avoid pressing on hard or fragile objects: The seat belt should not press against hard or fragile items, such as mobile phones or glasses. 4. Retract and store properly: When the seat is unoccupied, the seat belt should be retracted back into the retractor, and the buckle should be placed in the storage position.
I also experienced a stuck seatbelt when I first started driving, which was really frustrating. That time on the highway, the seatbelt suddenly locked tight and couldn't be pulled at all. I quickly pulled over and tried to slowly release the seatbelt, gently shaking the retractor part because dust buildup is a common cause. Don't yank it forcefully to avoid damaging the internal mechanism. If it still doesn't work, carefully check around the seatbelt for any debris stuck, like a phone or keys that might have fallen in. That time, I taught a friend a trick: develop the habit of using the seatbelt smoothly and slowly, and regularly clean the car to reduce dust. In an emergency, if you can't fix it yourself, call a professional repair service immediately. Safety is no small matter, especially checking the seatbelt function before long-distance driving.
