Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert)

BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind the driver

and outboard front passenger (if equipped with out-

board front passenger BeltAlert) to buckle their seat

belts. The feature is active whenever the ignition is in

the START or ON/RUN position. If the driver or

outboard front seat passenger is unbelted, the Seat Belt

Reminder Light will turn on and remain on until both

outboard front seat belts are buckled.
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 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 occu-

pants to buckle their seat belts. If an outboard 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 outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert is not active

when the outboard front passenger seat is unoccupied.

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 autho-

rized dealer. Chrysler Group LLC does not recommend

deactivating BeltAlert.
