Why does the Geely Emgrand seat belt warning keep beeping?

The reason why the Geely Emgrand seat belt warning keeps beeping is for safety considerations, serving as a reminder for the driver or passengers. The seat belt is a protective lock for safety and works in conjunction with the airbag to enhance safety. Car seat belts are an active safety device in vehicles, mostly made of nylon or polyester. Civilian car seat belts are three-point type, while racing car seat belts are four-point type. The Geely Emgrand EC718 has a stable and grand appearance, yet it is also stylish and dynamic. It is equipped with various high-end configurations, ranging from small details like frameless wipers and one-touch up/down anti-pinch windows for all four doors, to larger features such as four airbags, two side air curtains, a sunroof, navigation, automatic air conditioning, and leather seats. The interior noise level is 39 decibels at idle.
After years of driving, I've encountered many seat belt alarm issues. I find that the most common reason for the persistent seat belt alarm in Emgrand cars is either the buckle not being fully inserted or dust accumulation in the slot causing sensor misjudgment. Once, while helping a neighbor troubleshoot, I discovered that a slightly stuck buckle not being tightly fastened triggered continuous alarms—simply cleaning the slot with a damp cloth fixed it. Another possibility is the aging or jamming of the seat belt retraction spring, making the system think the belt isn’t properly fastened. Check by pulling the belt to see if it moves smoothly; if it’s stiff, it’s time for a replacement. Additionally, false alarms can occur due to seat weight sensor misjudgment, such as heavy objects on the passenger seat or a faulty seat cushion. Try removing the items—if the alarm stops, the sensor is fine; otherwise, check the wiring or fuses. Such minor issues aren’t uncommon in the Emgrand series. To prevent problems, regularly vacuum the seat area to avoid dust buildup. Always prioritize safety while driving—never ignore alarm signals and address them promptly to prevent accidents.
