Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder
System (BeltAlert )
BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind the
driver and front passenger (if equipped with
front passenger BeltAlert ) to fasten their seat
belts. The feature is active whenever the igni-
tion is on. If the driver or front seat passenger is
unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn
on and remain on until both front seat belts are
fastened.
The BeltAlert warning sequence begins after
the vehicle speed is over 5 mph (8 km/h), by
blinking the Seat Belt Reminder Light and
sounding an intermittent chime. Once the se-
quence starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seatbelts are
fastened. After the sequence completes, the
Seat Belt Reminder Light remains illuminated
32
until the respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occupants to
fasten their seat belts. If a front seat belt is
unbuckled while traveling at speeds greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h), BeltAlert will provide
both audio and visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert is not ac-
tive when the front passenger seat is unoccu-
pied. BeltAlert may be triggered when an
animal or heavy object is on the front passen-
ger seat or when the seat is folded flat (if
equipped). It is recommended that pets be
restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or
pet carriers that are secured by seat belts, and
cargo is properly stowed.
BeltAlert can be enabled or disabled by your
authorized dealer. Chrysler Group LLC does
not recommend deactivating BeltAlert .
NOTE:
Although BeltAlert has been deactivated,
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to
illuminate while the driver's or front passen-
ger (if equipped with belt alert) seat belt
remains unfastened.

Seat Belts And Pregnant Women

We recommend that pregnant women use the
seat belts throughout their pregnancy. Keeping
the mother safe is the best way to keep the
baby safe.
Pregnant women should wear the lap part of
the belt across the thighs and as snug across
the hips as possible. Keep the belt low so that
it does not come across the abdomen. That
way the strong bones of the hips will take the
force if there is an accident.
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) — Air Bags
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for
both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems.
The driver's Advanced Front Air Bag is
mounted in the steering wheel. The passen-
ger's Advanced Front Air Bag is mounted in the
instrument panel, above the glove compart-
ment. The words SRS/AIRBAG are embossed
on the air bag covers.
