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 being shifted out of P (Park) when
Teen Driver is active, and the driver seat
belt is not buckled. 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, shifting from
P (Park) will be prevented each time the
above conditions exist whether Teen Driver
is ON or OFF.

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
