SEATS AND RESTRAINTS

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

Seat Belts

and

Child Restraints

in the Index for information about the
importance of proper restraint use.

If the driver seat belt or the front
passenger seat belt is unbuckled when
driving, the seat belt reminder chime
and light(s) will come on. See
