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.
NOTE:

If BeltAlert has been deactivated, the Seat Belt

Reminder Light will continue to illuminate while the

driver’s or outboard front passenger’s (if equipped with

BeltAlert) seat belt remains unbuckled.

Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with

lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock only during very

sudden stops or collisions. This feature allows the shoul-

der part of the seat belt to move freely with you under

normal conditions. However, in a collision the seat belt

will lock and reduce your risk of striking the inside of the

vehicle or being thrown out of the vehicle.

WARNING!

Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more

severe injuries in a collision. The air bags work with

your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some

collisions, the air bags won’t deploy at all. Always

wear your seat belt even though you have air bags.
