Memory Seats
Overview
If equipped, the memory seat
feature allows drivers to save
their unique driving positions
and a shared exit position. See
“Saving Seating Positions”
later in this section. The saved
positions can be recalled
manually by all drivers, see
“Manually Recalling Seating
Positions”later in this section,
and drivers with remote keys
1 and 2 can also recall them
automatically. See “Auto Seat
Entry Memory Recall” or“Auto Seat Exit Memory Recall”
later
in this section. To enable
automatic recalls, turn on Seat
Entry Memory and/or Seat
Exit Memory. See “Enabling
Automatic Recalls” later in this
section. The memory recalls
may be cancelled at any time
during the recall. See “Cancel
Memory Seating Recalls” later
in this section.
Identifying Driver Number
The vehicle identifies the
current driver by their remote
key number 1–8. The current
remote key number may be
identified by Driver
Information Center (DIC)
welcome message, “You are
driver x for memory recalls.”
This message is displayed the
first few times the vehicle is
turned on when a different
remote key is used. For Seat
Entry Memory to work
properly, save positions to the
1 or 2 memory button
matching the driver number of
this welcome message. To aid in identifying remote key IDs, it
is recommended to only carry
one remote key when entering
the vehicle. Perform the
following if the welcome
message is not displayed:
1. Move all keys and remote keys away from the
vehicle.
2. Start the vehicle with another remote key. A DIC
welcome message should
display indicating the
driver number of the other
remote key. Turn the
vehicle off and remove the
other key or remote key
from the vehicle.
3. Start the vehicle with the initial key or remote key.
The DIC welcome message
should display the driver
number of the initial
remote key.

Rear Seat Reminder
If equipped, the message
REAR SEAT REMINDER LOOK
IN REAR SEAT displays under
certain conditions indicating
there may be an item or
passenger in the rear seat.
Check before exiting the
vehicle.
This feature will activate when
a second row door is opened
while the vehicle is on or up to
10 minutes before the vehicle
is turned on. There will be an
alert when the vehicle is
turned off. The alert does not
directly detect objects in the
rear seat; instead, under
certain conditions, it detects
when a rear door is opened
and closed, 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 opening and closing the second row doors.
There may be an alert even
when there is nothing in the
rear seat; for example, if a
child entered the vehicle
through the rear door and left
the vehicle without the vehicle
being shut off.
The feature can be turned on
or off. Select Settings >
Vehicle > Rear Seat
Reminder > ON or OFF.
Folding the Seatback

can be folded for more cargo
space. Fold a seatback only
when the vehicle is not
moving.
Caution
Folding a rear seat with the
seat belts still fastened may
cause damage to the seat or
the seat belts. Always
unbuckle the seat belts and
return them to their normal
stowed position before
folding a rear seat.

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

Seats and Restraints 57
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.
There are important things to

properly. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability
Control0291. If there is a
problem with the Automatic
Seat Belt Tightening System, a
message displays on the
Driver Information Center
(DIC). If a system unavailable
message displays repeatedly
or if a service message
displays, see your dealer.
Other seat belt functions are
not affected by the Automatic
Seat Belt Tightening System.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt
pretensioners for the front
outboard occupants. Although
the seat belt pretensioners
cannot be seen, they are part
of the seat belt assembly.
They can help tighten the seat
belts during the early stages
of a moderate to severe
frontal, near frontal, or rear
crash if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner
activation are met. Seat belt pretensioners can also help
tighten the seat belts in a side
crash or a rollover event.
Pretensioners work only once.
If the pretensioners activate in
a crash, the pretensioners and
probably other parts of the
vehicle's seat belt system will
need to be replaced. See
Replacing Seat Belt System
Parts after a Crash
065.
Do not sit on the outboard
seat belt while entering or
exiting the vehicle or at any
time while sitting in the seat.
Sitting on the seat belt can
damage the webbing and
hardware.
Rear Seat Belt Comfort
Guides
Rear seat belt comfort guides
may provide added seat belt
comfort for older children who
have outgrown booster seats
and for some adults. When
installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide positions
the shoulder belt away from
the neck and head.
Comfort guides are available
through your dealer for the
rear outboard seating
positions. Instructions are
included with the guides.
Seat Belt Use During
Pregnancy
Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women.
Like all occupants, they are
more likely to be seriously
injured if they do not wear
seat belts.
