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 vehicleafter 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 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 prevents 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. See
Vehicle Personalization 0140 and if
equipped, Teen Driver 0209. If the
engine is running, the driver seat belt
is not buckled, and the brake pedal is
pressed with the vehicle in P (Park), a
message displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). Buckle the
driver seat belt to shift out of P (Park).
Shifting from P (Park) will be
prevented once for each ignition cycle.
For some fleet vehicles, the feature is
always ON and it cannot be turned
OFF in the infotainment system.
Shifting from P (Park) will be
prevented each time the above
conditions exist.
On some models, Buckle to Drive may
also prevent shifting out of P (Park) if
a front passenger is unbuckled under
similar conditions. A message displays
in the DIC. Buckle the front passenger
seat belt to shift out of P (Park). This
