Ever wonder why your seat belt latch doesn’t just slide freely along the strap? That’s thanks to the stop button—a small but essential part of your car’s safety system. Positioned near the metal tongue, this unassuming piece keeps the buckle within easy reach so you can fasten your seat belt quickly and hassle-free.
Without it, you’d have to pull the latch plate up from the floor or the side of the seat every time you buckle up. The stop button ensures the seat belt stays functional and convenient, reinforcing how thoughtful engineering enhances everyday safety.
