indicating that there may be
something in the rear seat.
The feature is active only once each
time the vehicle is turned on and off,
and will require reactivation by

cycle. For fleet vehicles, shifting
from P (Park) will be prevented each
time these 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 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, and/or the
front passenger seat belt on some
vehicles, is unbuckled when driving, the seat belt reminder chime and
light(s) will come on. See
Seat Belt
Reminders 0103.
This feature may not function
properly if the airbag readiness light
is on. See Airbag Readiness Light
0 104.
Why Seat Belts Work
When riding in a vehicle, you travel
as fast as the vehicle does. If the
vehicle stops suddenly, you keep
going until something stops you.
It could be the windshield, the
instrument panel, or the seat belts! When you wear a seat belt, you and
the vehicle slow down together.
There is more time to stop because
you stop over a longer distance and,
when worn properly, your strongest
bones take the forces from the seat
belts. That is why wearing seat belts
makes such good sense.
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.
