Questions and Answers About Seat Belts

Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a

crash if I am wearing a seat belt?

A:

You

could

be

whether you are

wearing a seat belt or not. Your chance
of being conscious during and after a
crash, so you

can

unbuckle and get out,

is

much

greater if you are belted.

Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I

have to wear seat belts?

A:

Airbags are supplemental systems only.
They work

with

seat belts

not instead

of them. Whether or not an airbag is
provided, all occupants still have to
buckle up to get the most protection.

Also, in nearly all states and in all
Canadian provinces, the law requires
wearing seat belts.

Buckle To Drive

If equipped, this feature prevents the vehicle
from shifting out of P (Park) when the driver
seat belt is not buckled. The Buckle to Drive
feature must be turned ON in the
infotainment system to work. See

. If the engine is running, the

driver seat belt is not buckled, and the brake

pedal is pressed with the vehicle in P (Park),
a message displays in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). Buckle the driver seat belt to
shift out of P (Park). Shifting from P (Park)
will be prevented once for each ignition
cycle.

For some fleet vehicles, the feature is
always ON and it cannot be turned OFF in
the infotainment system. Shifting from
P (Park) will be prevented each time the
above conditions exist.

On some models, Buckle to Drive may also
prevent shifting out of P (Park) if a front
passenger is unbuckled under similar
conditions. A message displays in the DIC.
Buckle the front passenger seat belt to shift
out of P (Park). This feature may not allow
the vehicle to shift out of P (Park) if an
object, such as a briefcase, handbag, grocery
bag, laptop, or other electronic device, is on
the front passenger seat. If this happens,
remove the object from the seat or buckle
the seat belt to shift out of P (Park).

If the driver, or on some vehicles, the
present front passenger remains unbuckled,
the DIC message will turn off after several
seconds and the vehicle can be shifted out
of P (Park). See

in the Index for information
