56 Seats and Restraints
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 fromthe 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. 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 delays
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. To turn the
Buckle to Drive feature on or
off, select Settings > Vehicle >
Buckle to Drive. See Teen
Driver
0219, if equipped.
If the vehicle is on and the
brake pedal is pressed with
the vehicle in P (Park) but the
driver seat belt is not buckled,
a message displays in the
Driver Information Center (DIC)
and the vehicle will be delayed
from shifting out of P (Park).
Buckle the driver seat belt to
clear the message and shift
out of P (Park). Shifting from

P (Park) will be delayed once
for each time the vehicle is
started.
For some fleet vehicles, the
feature is always ON and
cannot be turned OFF in the
infotainment system. The
vehicle will be delayed from
shifting from P (Park) each
time the driver attempts to do
so while the driver seat belt is
not buckled. Turning the
vehicle off then on will not
change this condition.
On some models, Buckle to
Drive may also delay shifting
out of P (Park) if a front
passenger seat belt is
unbuckled. A message displays
in the DIC. Buckle the front
passenger seat belt to shift
out of P (Park). This feature
may delay the vehicle from
shifting 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 Seat
Belt Reminders 0122. This
feature may not function
properly if the airbag
readiness light is on. See
Airbag Readiness Light 0123.How to Wear Seat
Belts Properly
Follow these rules for
everyone's protection.
There are additional things to
know about seat belts and
children, including smaller
children and infants. If a child
will be riding in the vehicle, see
Older Children 079 or
Infants and Young Children
0 81. Review and follow the
rules for children in addition to
the following rules.
It is very important for all
occupants to buckle up.
Statistics show that unbelted
people are hurt more often in
crashes than those who are
wearing seat belts.

know about wearing a seat
belt properly.

108 Instruments and Controls
The compass system is
designed to operate for a
certain number of miles or
degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can
receive a GPS signal. The
compass system will
automatically determine when
a GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading again.
Clock
Set the time and date using
the infotainment system. See
"Time/Date" under Settings
0215.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets
can be used to plug in
electrical equipment, such as a
cell phone or MP3 player. The vehicle has two accessory
power outlets:
.Inside the center console
storage area.
.On the rear of the center
floor console.
Lift the cover to access the
accessory power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories
may not be compatible with
the accessory power outlet
and could overload a vehicle
circuit breaker or adapter
fuse. If overloaded, the circuit
breaker will reset after all
devices are disconnected or if
Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) is turned off and then
back on. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0273.
Wait one minute to allow the
circuit breaker to reset before
reconnecting devices or
turning RAP back on. If the
problem continues, the issue
could be within your device.
Try another known good
device to make sure the circuit breaker is operating properly.
If this does not resolve your
problem, see your dealer.
It is possible to replace the
factory power outlet with a
cigar lighter receptacle,
if desired. This requires the
factory installed circuit
breaker to be replaced with a
standard minifuse by the
dealer. A minifuse will not
reset and will have to be
replace if blown.
Caution
Failure to replace the circuit
breaker with the minifuse
could overheat the cigar
lighter and damage the
vehicle.
When adding electrical
equipment, be sure to follow
the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0372.
