continues for about 90 seconds. The
beep stops after the driver or
passengers seat belt is fastened.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep
sound will not stop even if the vehicle
speed falls below 12 MPH (20 km/h).
Warning!Placing heavy items on the front
passenger seat may cause the front
passenger seat belt warning function to
operate depending on the weight of the
item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on the
front passenger seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
When a small child sits on the front
passenger seat, it is possible that the
warning beep will not operate. Ignition Not Switched OFF
If the driver's door is opened while the
ignition is placed in the ACC position, a

ONBOARD
DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated Onboard Diagnostic
system called OBD II. This system
monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When
these systems are operating properly,
your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well
as engine emissions well within current
government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). It will
also store diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician in making repairs. Although
your vehicle will usually be drivable and
not need towing, see your authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible. Caution!Prolonged driving with the MIL on could
cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and driveability. The vehicle must
be serviced before any emissions tests can
be performed.
If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is
running, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
Onboard Diagnostic
System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have an
Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD II)
and a connection port to allow access
to information related to the
performance of your emissions
controls. Authorized service technicians
may need to access this information to
assist with the diagnosis and service of
your vehicle and emissions system. Warning! ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to diagnose or
service your vehicle.
If unauthorized equipment is connected
to the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:
Be possible that vehicle systems,
including safety related systems, could be
impaired or a loss of vehicle control could
occur that may result in an accident
involving serious injury or death.
Access, or allow others to access,
information stored in your vehicle systems,
including personal information.
For further information, refer to “Privacy
Practices” and “Uconnect
CyberSecurity” in “All About Uconnect
Access” in your Owner’s Manual Radio
Supplement.

EMISSIONS
INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal
requirement to pass an inspection of
your vehicle's emissions control
system. Failure to pass could prevent
vehicle registration.
For states that require
an Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M), this
check verifies the
“Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” is
functioning and is not on when the
engine is running, and that the OBD II
system is ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be
ready. The OBD II system may not be
ready if your vehicle was recently
serviced, recently had a dead battery or
a battery replacement. If the OBD II
system should be determined not ready
for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the
test. Your vehicle has a simple ignition
actuated test, which you can use prior
to going to the test station. To check if
your vehicle's OBD II system is ready,
you must do the following:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON
position, but do not crank or start the
engine.
Note: If you crank or start the engine,
you will have to start this test over.
2. As soon as you cycle the ignition
switch to the ON position, you will see
the “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
symbol come on as part of a normal
bulb check.
3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one
of two things will happen:
The MIL will flash for about
10 seconds and then return to being
fully illuminated until you turn OFF the
ignition or start the engine. This means
that your vehicle's OBD II system is not
ready and you should not proceed to
the I/M station. The MIL will not flash at all and will
remain fully illuminated until you place
the ignition in the off position or start
the engine. This means that your
vehicle's OBD II system is ready and
you can proceed to the I/M station.
If your OBD II system is not ready, you
should see your authorized dealer or
repair facility. If your vehicle was
recently serviced or had a battery failure
or replacement, you may need to do
nothing more than drive your vehicle as
you normally would in order for your
OBD II system to update. A recheck
with the above test routine may then
indicate that the system is now ready .
Regardless of whether your vehicle's
OBD II system is ready or not, if the MIL
is illuminated during normal vehicle
operation you should have your vehicle
serviced before going to the I/M station.
The I/M station can fail your vehicle
because the MIL is on with the engine
running.
