[LaKai]

Solutions for a seat belt that won't latch include: 1. Clean the seat belt and check for dust or debris in the buckle and shoulder joint area; 2. Replace the buckle base. Reasons for a seat belt not latching are: 1. The vehicle has been involved in a collision; 2. The seat belt is too dirty or dust has accumulated in the joint area; 3. Foreign objects have entered the buckle slot. Steps for using a seat belt correctly are: 1. Pull out the seat belt and securely latch the buckle tongue into the buckle, ensuring the belt is fastened around the body; 2. Adjust the lap belt position to sit across the hips; 3. Adjust the shoulder belt to cross over the collarbone; 4. Inspect the seat belt to ensure it functions properly; 5. Hold the buckle tongue, press the release button, and retract the belt into the retractor, then store the buckle tongue in its designated position.
