Why can't the red button on the seat belt buckle pop out?

It may be due to a malfunction in the buckle slot or the presence of foreign objects inside the slot. You can visit a repair facility for a replacement. Relevant information is as follows: The role of seat belts: Car seat belts serve to restrain movement and provide cushioning, absorbing impact energy and dissipating inertial forces to prevent or reduce the severity of injuries to drivers and passengers. In the event of a vehicle collision or the use of emergency braking, the pretensioner will instantly retract, tightening the slack in the seat belt and securing the occupant firmly in the seat to prevent secondary collisions. The importance of seat belts: Seat belts have become a primary consideration for drivers and passengers and are one of the most important safety features of a car.
I've been driving a private car for over a decade and have encountered stuck seatbelt buckle buttons more than once. The most common cause is dust or small food crumbs blocking the button gap, like last time when my daughter's biscuit crumbs fell inside and prevented the button from popping up. Simply using compressed air to blow around the buckle edges and gently scraping off residue with a toothpick usually restores normal function. However, if the button still won't move, it might be due to a broken internal spring or aged components, in which case you'll need to visit a repair shop to replace the buckle. Never overlook this seemingly minor issue - a non-functional seatbelt poses serious safety risks during sudden braking. I recommend maintaining regular interior cleanliness and avoiding eating messy foods in the car.
