BeltAlert can be activated or deactivated by your authorized dealer. FCA US LLC does
not recommend deactivating BeltAlert.
NOTE:
If BeltAlert has been deactivated and the driver or outboard front seat passenger (if
equipped with outboard front passenger seat Bel tAlert) is unbuckled the Seat Belt Re-
minder Light will turn on and remain on until the driver and outboard front seat passen-
ger seat belts are buckled.
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.
• In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other pas-
sengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others
in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly. Occu-
pants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belts whether or not an
air bag is also provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of severe in-
jur y or death in the event of a crash.
• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could make your injuries in a collision much
worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of the seat
belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your pas-
sengers safe, too.
• Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together
can crash into one another in a collision, hurting one another badly. Never use a
lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their
size.
