3. It Acts as a Guide
Some seat belts, especially those in newer vehicles with pretensioners and load limiters, have the button to guide the belt through the right path. It ensures the belt tension works as designed when the car detects sudden deceleration.
4. Why You Shouldn’t Remove It

💡 Pro tip: If you notice your belt twisting frequently, check that the button is intact and positioned correctly. It’s a simple fix that could save you serious harm.
