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 acrash 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 canunbuckle 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 withseat 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 0168, 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.
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 clear the message
and 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

are performing wipes due to windshield
washing, the wipers continue to run until
they reach the base of the windshield.
Rain Sense
If equipped with Rain Sense and the feature
is turned on, a sensor near the top center of
the windshield detects the amount of water
on the windshield and controls the
frequency of the windshield wiper based on
the current sensitivity setting.
Keep this area of the windshield clear of
debris to allow for best system performance.
To turn the Rain Sense feature on or off, see
“Rain Sense Wipers” under Settings >
Vehicle > Comfort and Convenience > Rain
Sense > Enable/Disable.

Troubleshooting
The power outlets will be momentarily
unavailable at the start and the end of a
350 kW DC Fast Charge. This is normal
operation.
For any error messages that can not be
resolved by resetting fault mode as
discussed earlier in this section, see your

Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the vehicle has
wireless charging in the bin below the
climate control system. The system operates
at 145 kHz and wirelessly charges one Qi
compatible smartphone. The power output
of the system is capable of charging at a
rate up to 3 amp (15 W), as requested by
the compatible smartphone. SeeRadio
Frequency Statement 0404.
{Warning
Wireless charging may affect the
operation of an implanted pacemaker or
other medical devices. If you have one, it
is recommended to consult with your
doctor before using the wireless charging
system.
The vehicle must be on or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) must be active. The
wireless charging feature may not correctly
indicate charging when the vehicle is in RAP,
during a Bluetooth phone call, or when
phone projection (e.g. Apple CarPlay/Android
Auto) is active. See Power Modes0197.
The operating temperature is −40 °C (−40 °F)
to 85 °C (185 °F) for the charging system and
0 °C (32 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F) for the phone.
A charging stopped alert may be displayed
on the infotainment screen, if the wireless
charger or smartphone are outside of
normal operating temperature. Charging will
automatically resume when a normal
operating temperature is reached.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the charger
before charging your compatible
smartphone. Objects, such as coins, keys,
rings, paper clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and charger may become
very hot.
On the rare occasion that the charging
system does not detect an object, and
the object gets wedged between the
smartphone and charger, remove the
smartphone and allow the object to cool
before removing it from the charger, to
prevent burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone: 1. Confirm the smartphone is capable of wireless charging.
2. The wireless charger is below the climate control system.
