Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they
can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some
of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown
from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of
ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the
inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should
be belted at all times.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert)
The Belt Alert feature is active whenever the ignition
switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. In this
condition if the driver is unbelted, a continuous chime
signal will start for few seconds and the Seat Belt
Reminder Light
will turn on until the driver seat belt
is buckled.
If the driver seat belt is unbuckled once the vehicle speed
is over 12.5 mph (20 km/h) or when travelling at a speed
from 6 to 12.5 mph (10 to 20 km/h) for few seconds, the
BeltAlert® warning sequence begins by blinking the Seat
Belt Reminder Light
and sounding an intermittent
chime. Once the sequence starts, it will continue for
the entire duration or until the driver’s seat belt is
buckled. After the sequence completes, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light
remains illuminated until the driv-
er’s seat belt is buckled. The driver should instruct all
other occupants to buckle their seat belts.
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 autho-
rized dealer. FCA US LLC does not recommend deacti-
vating BeltAlert.
