The BeltAlert warning sequence begins after the ve-
hicle speed is over 8 km/h 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 respective seat belts are
buckled. After the sequence completes, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light remains illuminated until the respective
seat belts are buckled. The driver should instruct all
other occupants to buckle their seat belts. If an out-
board front seat belt is unbuckled while traveling at
speeds greater than 8 km/h, BeltAlert will provide both
audio and visual notification.
The outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert is not
active when the outboard front passenger seat is un-
occupied. BeltAlert may be triggered when an animal
or heavy object is 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. Fiat Group does not recommend
deactivating BeltAlert.
NOTE: If BeltAlert has been deactivated, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will continue to illuminate while the
driver’s or outboard front passenger’s (if equipped with
BeltAlert) seat belt remains unbuckled.
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 conditions. However, in a collision the
seat belt will lock and reduce your risk of striking the
inside of the vehicle or being thrown out of the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could
lead to
more severe injuries in a collision.
The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain
you properly. In some collisions, the air bags
won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt
even though you have air bags.
