Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Reminder System (Beltalert ) - Dodge DURANGO Owner's Manual

Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Reminder System
(BeltAlert )
If the driver 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, the Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert )
will continue to chime and flash the Seat Belt Warning
Light for 96 seconds or until the driver's seat belt is
buckled. The Enhanced Warning System (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).
Once the warning is triggered, it can be paused if the
vehicle speed drops below 5 mph (8 km/h). The warning
will be restarted if the vehicle speed becomes greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h).

abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by

mend deactivating the Enhanced Warning System
