Enhanced Driver And Seat Belt Reminder System
(BeltAlert )
If the driver's seat belt has not been buckled within
60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed
is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced Warning
System (BeltAlert ) will alert the driver to buckle their
seat belt. The driver should also instruct all other occu-
pants to buckle their seat belts. Once the warning is
triggered, BeltAlert will continue to chime and flash the
Seat Belt Warning Light for 96 seconds or until the
driver's seat belt is buckled. BeltAlert will be reactivated
if the driver's seat belt is unbuckled for more than
10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph
(8 km/h).
BeltAlert can be enabled or disabled by your authorized
dealer or by following these steps.
NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first
60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON
or START position. Chrysler LLC does not recommend
deactivating BeltAlert .
1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and
buckle the driver or front passenger seat belt.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait
for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off.
3. Within 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the
ON position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver or
front passenger seat belt at least three times within
10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled.
NOTE: Watch for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn on
while unbuckling and off while re-buckling the seat belt.
It may be necessary to retract the seat belt.
