Where is the buzzer located in the Magotan?

Magotan's buzzer is located inside the plastic interior trim panel of the right rear door frame, and is generally marked with the letters H or HA on the circuit. The buzzer is an integrated electronic alarm device powered by DC voltage, primarily used to remind drivers and passengers whether they have fastened their seat belts. The Magotan is a mid-size car launched by FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. It is equipped with two turbocharged engines, a 1.4T and a 2.0T, with maximum power outputs of 110kw and 137kw respectively, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a seasoned driver, I've disassembled the dashboard of three generations of Magotans. The buzzer is hidden inside the instrument cluster assembly behind the steering wheel, positioned near the left side of the cluster's back. Volkswagen's design is quite compact; you need to remove the upper cover of the instrument cluster to see that black sound emitter, which is about the size of a fingernail. The reverse radar's buzzer is located inside the left trim panel of the trunk. Last time I helped my son inspect it, we found the sound was muffled—turns out this little thing was blocked by debris. The new B8L's buzzer is more integrated, possibly combined with the BCM (Body Control Module). It's easy to break the clips if you try to disassemble it yourself, so I recommend getting a professional to handle it.
