If the driver or outboard front seat passenger seat belt is
unbuckled once the vehicle speed is over 12.5 mph
(20 km/h) or when travelling at a speed from 6 to
12.5 mph (10 to 20 km/h) for few seconds, the BeltAlert
warning sequence begins by blinking the Seat Belt Re-
minder Light and sounding an intermittent chime. Once
the sequence starts, it will continue for the entire dura-
tion or until the respective seatbelts are buckled. After the
sequence completes, the Seat Belt Reminder Light re-
mains illuminated until the respective seat belts are
buckled. The driver should instruct all other occupants to
buckle their seat belts.
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 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. FCA US LLC does not recommend deacti-
vating 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 seat belt remains
unbuckled.
