The pretensioners are triggered by the Occupant Re-
straint Controller (ORC) (see the following Airbag sec-
tion). Like the front airbags, the pretensioners are single-
use items. After a collision that is severe enough to
deploy the airbags and pretensioners, both must be
replaced.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert
ா)
If the driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt has not been
buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, and if
the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert
௡)
will alert the driver or front passenger to buckle their seat
belt. The driver should also instruct all other occupants to
buckle their seat belts. If the driver unbuckles the seat
belt while the vehicle is in motion an immediate chime
will be heard and BeltAlert
௡ will continue to chime and
flash the Seat Belt Reminder Light for 96 seconds or until
the driver’s seat belt is buckled. BeltAlert
௡ will be
reactivated if the driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt is
unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle
speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
NOTE:
• BeltAlert௡ can be enabled or disabled by your autho-
rized dealer.
• Chrysler LLC does not recommend deactivating
BeltAlert
௡.
If BeltAlert
௡ is deactivated, the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will continue to illuminate while the driver’s seat belt
remains unfastened.
