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 re-
strained in the rear seat (if equipped) in pet har-
nesses or pet carriers that are secured by seat belts,
and cargo is properly stowed.
BeltAlert can be activated or deactivated by an
authorized dealer. FCA US LLC does not recom-
mend 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 unbuck-
led 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.
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to
more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags
work with your seat belt to restrain you prop-
erly. In some collisions, the air bags won't de-
ploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even
though you have air bags.
• In a collision, you and your passengers can
suffer much greater injuries if you are not
properly buckled up. You can strike the interior
of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can
be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure
you and others in your vehicle are buckled up
properly.
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people rid-
ing in these areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts.
WARNING!
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly. Occupants,
including the driver, should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an air bag is also
provided at their seating position to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in the event of
a crash.
• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could make
your injuries in a collision much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or you could
even slide out of the seat belt. Follow these
instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to
keep your passengers safe, too.
• Two people should never be belted into a
single seat belt. People belted together can
crash into one another in a collision, hurting
one another badly. Never use a lap/shoulder
belt or a lap belt for more than one person, no
matter what their size.
WARNING!
• A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk
of injury in a collision. The seat belt forces
