The BeltAlert® warning sequence begins after the vehicle

speed is over 5 mph (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 seatbelts are fastened.

After the sequence completes, the Seat Belt Reminder

Light remains illuminated until the respective seat belts

are fastened. The driver should instruct all other occu-

pants to fasten their seat belts. If a front seat belt is

unbuckled while traveling at speeds greater than 5 mph

(8 km/h), BeltAlert® will provide both audio and visual

notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is not active when

the front passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may

be triggered when an animal or heavy object is on the

front passenger 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.

BeltAlert® can be enabled or disabled by your autho-

rized dealer. Chrysler Group LLC does not recommend

deactivating BeltAlert®.
NOTE:

Although BeltAlert® has been deactivated, the

Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to illuminate

while the driver’s or front passenger (if equipped with

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 a collision.
