authorized dealer. Chrysler Group LLC does not
recommend deactivating BeltAlert®.

Although BeltAlert® has been deactivated,
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to

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 a collision.
