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 is
placed in the START or ON/RUN position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition is
first placed in the START or ON/RUN position,
an intermittent chime will signal for a few sec-
onds. If the driver or outboard front seat pas-
senger (if equipped with outboard front passen-
ger seat BeltAlert) is unbuckled when the
ignition is first placed 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 BeltAlert warning sequence starts by blink-
ing the Seat Belt Reminder Light and sounding
an intermittent chime. Once the BeltAlert warn-
ing sequence has completed, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will remain on until the seat
belts are buckled. The BeltAlert warning se-
quence 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 se-
quence will begin until the seat belts are buck-
led 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 International Op-
erations 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 pas-
senger 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 condi-
