from P (Park) will be prevented
once for each time the vehicle
is started.
On some models, Buckle to
Drive may also prevent
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 clear
the message and 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 Seat
Belt Reminders 0112. This
feature may not function
properly if the airbag
readiness light is on. See
Airbag Readiness Light 0112.
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 073 or
Infants and Young Children
0 75. 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
know about wearing a seat
belt properly.
.Sit up straight and always
keep your feet on the floor in
front of you (if possible).
.Wear the lap part of the belt
low and snug on the hips,
just touching the thighs. In a
crash, this applies force to
the strong pelvic bones and

Knee airbags are designed to
inflate in moderate to severe
frontal impacts. Knee airbags
are not designed to inflate
during vehicle rollovers, in rear
impacts, or in many side
impacts.
Seat-mounted side impact
airbags are designed to inflate
in moderate to severe side
crashes depending on the
location of the impact. These
airbags may also inflate in
some moderate to severe
frontal impacts. Seat-mounted
side impact airbags are not
designed to inflate in rollovers
or rear impacts.
A seat-mounted side impact
airbag is designed to inflate on
the side of the vehicle that is
struck.
Roof-rail airbags are designed
to inflate in moderate to
severe side crashes
depending on the location of
the impact. In addition, these
roof-rail airbags may inflate
during a rollover or in a severefrontal impact. Roof-rail
airbags are not designed to
inflate in rear impacts. Both
roof-rail airbags may inflate
when either side of the vehicle
is struck or if the sensing
system predicts that the
vehicle is about to roll over on
its side, or in a severe frontal
impact.
In any particular crash, no one
can say whether an airbag
should have inflated simply
because of the vehicle
damage or repair costs.
What Makes an
Airbag Inflate?
In a deployment event, the
sensing system sends an
electrical signal triggering a
release of gas from the
inflator. Gas from the inflator
fills the airbag causing the bag
to break out of the cover. The
inflator, the airbag, and related
hardware are all part of the
airbag module.
For airbag locations, see
Where Are the Airbags?
061.
How Does an Airbag
Restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal
or near frontal collisions, even
belted occupants can contact
the steering wheel or the
instrument panel. In moderate
to severe side collisions, even
belted occupants can contact
the inside of the vehicle.
Airbags supplement the
protection provided by seat
belts by distributing the force
of the impact more evenly
over the occupant's body.
Rollover capable roof-rail
airbags are designed to help
contain the head and chest of
occupants in the outboard
seating positions in the first
and second rows. The rollover
capable roof-rail airbags are
designed to help reduce the
risk of full or partial ejection in

systems are damaged in the
crash they may not operate as
normal.
{Warning
A crash severe enough to
inflate the airbags may have
also damaged important
functions in the vehicle, such
as the brake and steering
systems, etc. Even if the
vehicle appears to be
drivable after a moderate
crash, there may be
concealed damage that
could make it difficult to
safely operate the vehicle.
Use caution if attempting to
restart the vehicle after a
crash has occurred.
Plug-in vehicles have a high
voltage battery and a
standard 12-volt battery.
If an airbag inflates or the
vehicle has been in a crash,
the sensing system may shut
down the high voltage system. When this occurs, the high
voltage battery is
disconnected and the vehicle
will not start. Before the
vehicle can be operated again,
it must be serviced at your
dealer.
In many crashes severe
enough to inflate the airbag,
windshields are broken by
vehicle deformation. Additional
windshield breakage may also
occur from the front outboard
passenger airbag.
.Airbags are designed to
inflate only once. After an
airbag inflates, you will need
some new parts for the
airbag system. If you do not
get them, the airbag system
will not be there to help
protect you in another crash.
A new system will include
airbag modules and possibly
other parts. The service
manual for the vehicle
covers the need to replace
other parts.
.The vehicle has a crash
sensing and diagnostic
module which records
information after a crash.
See Vehicle Data Recording
and Privacy
0397 and
Event Data Recorders 0398.
.Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag system.
Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will
not work properly. See your
dealer for service.
Passenger Sensing
System
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system for the front
outboard passenger position.
The passenger airbag status
indicator will light on the
overhead console when the
vehicle is started.

Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying
attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent
injury.
Some warning lights come on
briefly when the propulsion
system is started to indicate
they are working. When one of
the warning lights comes on
and stays on while driving,
or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a
problem, check the section
that explains what to do.
Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.

This displays the high voltage
battery state of charge. The
value at the bottom is an
estimate of how far the
vehicle can be driven on the
remaining charge based on
recent driving habits,
conditions, and HVAC usage.
The fill bars shown inside of
the gauge indicate
the percentage range as
estimated from current vehicle
conditions and climate
settings. The range estimate
on the bottom also may be
affected by climate settings,
current vehicle conditions and
ambient conditions. Estimated
range may increase and
decrease based on climate
control energy consumption.
Driving aggressively through
hard acceleration and/or
braking events, excessive
HVAC usage, using heated or
cooled seats, battery
preconditioning, and
performance modes can affect
vehicle range estimates.When the high voltage battery
state of charge level gets low,
the gauge will change color to
amber. When the charge is
very low the gauge will flash,
and the estimated range value
on the bottom will change to
LOW. Additional alerts may
display and a sound may also
be heard at low state of
charge.
