Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert)
Driver and Passenger BeltAlert (If Equipped)
BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind the driver and outboard front seat
passenger (if equipped with outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert) to buckle their
seat belts. The Belt Alert feature is active whenever the ignition switch is in the
START or ON/RUN position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition switch is first in the START or ON/RUN
position, a chime will signal for a few seconds. If the driver or outboard front seat
passenger (if equipped with outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert) is unbuckled
when the ignition switch is first in the START or ON/RUN position the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will turn on and remain on until both outboard front seat belts are
buckled. The outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert is not active when an outboard
front passenger seat is unoccupied.
BeltAlert Warning Sequence
The BeltAlert warning sequence is activated when the vehicle is moving above a
specified vehicle speed range and the driver or outboard front seat passenger is
unbuckled (if equipped with outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert) (the outboard
front passenger seat BeltAlert is not active when the outboard front passenger seat is
unoccupied). The BeltAlert warning sequence starts by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an intermittent chime. Once the BeltAlert warning
sequence has completed, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will remain on until the seat
belts are buckled. The BeltAlert warning sequence may repeat based on vehicle
speed until the driver and occupied outboard front seat passenger seat belts are
buckled. The driver should instruct all occupants to buckle their seat belts.
Change Of Status
If the driver or outboard front seat passenger (if equipped with outboard front
passenger seat BeltAlert) unbuckles their seat belt while the vehicle is traveling, the
BeltAlert warning sequence will begin until the seat belts are buckled again. 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 other
items are placed 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 authorized dealer. FCA US LLC does
not recommend deactivating BeltAlert.
