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.
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,
re
move 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 391. This feature may not
function properly if the airbag readiness light is
on. See Airbag Readiness Light 392.

•
Si
t 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 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.
