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

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, and in some
vehicles the front passenger seat belt,
is unbuckled when driving, the seat
belt reminder chime and light(s) will
come on. See Seat Belt Reminders 095.
This feature may not function
properly if the airbag readiness light is
on. See Airbag Readiness Light 096.
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 059 or
Infants and Young Children 060.
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).
.Always use the correct buckle for
your seating position.
.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
you would be less likely to slide
under the lap belt. If you slid under
it, the belt would apply force on
your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
.Wear the shoulder belt over the
shoulder and across the chest.
These parts of the body are best
able to take belt restraining forces.
The shoulder belt locks if there is a
sudden stop or crash.
{Warning
You can be seriously injured,
or even killed, by not wearing your
seat belt properly.

44 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
{Warning
The seat belt can be pinched if it is
routed under plastic trim on the
seat, such as trim around the rear
seatback folding handle or side
airbag. In a crash, pinched seat
belts might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Never allow
seat belts to be routed under plastic
trim pieces.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
All seating positions in the vehicle
have a lap-shoulder belt.
If you are using a rear seating position
with a detachable seat belt and the
seat belt is not attached, seeRear
Seats 038 for instructions on
reconnecting the seat belt to the
mini-buckle.
The following instructions explain
how to wear a lap-shoulder belt
properly.
1. If the seat has a seat belt guide, the seat belt must be routed through
the guide to properly position the
shoulder belt. If the seat belt is not routed through the guide, slide the
edge of the belt webbing through
the opening on the guide. Be sure
the belt is not twisted.
2. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you can sit up
straight. To see how, see “Seats”in
the Index.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Do not let it get
twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may lock if
you pull the belt across you very
quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then
pull the belt across you more
slowly.
If the shoulder portion of a
passenger belt is pulled out all the
way, the child restraint locking
feature may be engaged. See
Child
Restraint Systems 063. If this
occurs, let the belt go back all the
way and start again. If the locking
feature stays engaged after letting
the belt go back to stowed position
on the seat, move the seat rearward
or recline the seat until the
shoulder belt retractor lock
releases.
Engaging the child restraint locking
feature in the front outboard
seating position may affect the
passenger sensing system. See
Passenger Sensing System 053.
