front passenger BeltAlert ) to fasten their seat-
belts. This feature is active whenever the igni-
tion is on. If the driver or front seat passenger is
unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn
on and remain on until both front seatbelts are
fastened. BeltAlert triggers within 60 seconds
of vehicle speed over 5 mph (8 km/h). The
reminder sequence lasts for 96 seconds or until
the respective seatbelts are fastened. After the
sequence completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until front belts are
fastened. The driver should instruct all other
occupants to fasten their seatbelts. If a front
seatbelt is unbuckled while traveling at speeds
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), BeltAlert will
chime as a single notification and illuminate the
Seat Belt Reminder Light, then will proceed to
the 96 second reminder sequence.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert is not ac-
tive when the front passenger seat is unoccu-
pied. BeltAlert may be triggered when an
animal or heavy object is on the front passen-
ger seat or when the seat is folded flat (if
equipped). It is recommended that pets be
restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or
pet carriers that are secured by seat belts, and
cargo is properly stowed.
NOTE:
• BeltAlert can be enabled or disabled by
your authorized dealer.
• Chrysler Group LLC does not recommend
deactivating BeltAlert .
Although BeltAlert has been deactivated,
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to
illuminate while the driver or passenger (if
equipped with front passenger BeltAlert )
seat belt remains unfastened.

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 an accident.
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) — Airbags
This vehicle has Advanced Front Airbags for
both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems.
The driver's Advanced Front Airbag is mounted
in the center of the steering wheel. The passen-
ger's Advanced Front Airbag is mounted in the
instrument panel, above the glove compart-
ment. The words SRS AIRBAG are embossed
on the airbag covers. In addition, the vehicle is
equipped with a Supplemental Driver Side
Knee Airbag mounted in the instrument panel
