when people are thrown from the
vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury caused
by striking the inside of the vehicle.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use
Reminder System (BeltAlert)
Driver And Passenger BeltAlert — If
Equipped
BeltAlert is a feature intended to
remind the driver and outboard front
seat passenger (if equipped with
outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert)
to buckle their seat belts. The Belt Alert
feature is active whenever the ignition
switch is in the START or ON/RUN
position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the
ignition switch is first in the START or
ON/RUN position, a chime will signal for
a few seconds. If the driver or outboard
front seat passenger (if equipped with
outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert)
is unbuckled when the ignition switch is
first in the START or ON/RUN position
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn
on and remain on until both outboard
front seat belts are buckled. The
outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert
is not active when an outboard front
passenger seat is unoccupied.

BeltAlert Warning Sequence
The BeltAlert warning sequence is
activated when the vehicle is moving
above a specified vehicle speed range
and the driver or outboard front seat
passenger is unbuckled (if equipped
with outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert) (the outboard front passenger
seat BeltAlert is not active when the
outboard front passenger seat is
unoccupied). The BeltAlert warning
sequence starts by blinking the Seat
Belt Reminder Light and sounding an
intermittent chime. Once the BeltAlert
warning sequence has completed, the
Seat Belt Reminder Light will remain on
until the seat belts are buckled. The
BeltAlert warning sequence may repeat
based on vehicle speed until the driver
and occupied outboard front seat
passenger seat belts are buckled. The
driver should instruct all occupants to
buckle their seat belts.
Change Of Status
If the driver or outboard front seat
passenger (if equipped with outboard
front passenger seat BeltAlert)
unbuckles their seat belt while the
vehicle is traveling, the BeltAlert
warning sequence will begin until the
seat belts are buckled again.
The outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert is not active when the
outboard front passenger seat is
unoccupied. BeltAlert may be triggered
when an animal or other items are
placed on the outboard front passenger
seat or when the seat is folded flat (if
equipped). It is recommended that pets
be restrained in the rear seat (if
equipped) in pet harnesses or pet
carriers that are secured by seat belts,
and cargo is properly stowed.
BeltAlert can be activated or
deactivated by your authorized dealer.
FCA US LLC does not recommend
deactivating BeltAlert.
Note: If BeltAlert has been deactivated
and the driver or outboard front seat
passenger (if equipped with outboard
front passenger seat BeltAlert) is
unbuckled the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will turn on and remain on until the
driver and outboard front seat
passenger seat belts are buckled.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock
only during very sudden stops or
collisions. This feature allows the
shoulder part of the seat belt to move
freely with you under normal conditions.
However, in a collision the seat belt will
lock and reduce your risk of striking the
inside of the vehicle or being thrown out
of the vehicle.
