The following actions occur automatically when a disc
is inserted into the radio on a single screen system and
into the remote DVD player on a two screen system:
 If the video screen is in the open position (the LCD
screen is visible), then the screen turns on and the
wireless headphone transmitter turns on. If the video
screen is closed, the wireless headphone transmitter
must be turned on by using the power button on the
remote control (headphones only receive audio sig-
nals if the headphones are powered on).
 After the disc is inserted, the disc begins playing to cabin speakers, wireless headphones, and rear video
screens.
Shared Modes
The VES™ and radio are capable of communicating
with each other. This allows the VES™ to output radio
audio to the headphones and the radio to output
VES™ audio to the vehicle speakers. When the radio
and VES™ are in the same (shared) mode, a VES™ icon
will be visible on the radio’s display and the shared icon
will be visible on the VES™ screen. When in shared
mode, the same audio source is heard in the head-
phones and vehicle speakers simultaneously.
If the radio functions (FM, AM, or SAT) are in the
shared mode with the VES™, only the radio is able to(fig. 110) Popup Banner

control the radio functions. In this case, VES™ can
share the radio mode, but not change stations until the
radio mode is changed to a mode that is different from
the VES™ selected radio mode. When shared, the
radio has priority over the VES™ or all radio modes
(FM, AM, and SAT). The VES™ has the ability to switch
tuner (AM/FM/MW/LW), SEEK, TUNE, and recall pre-
sets in radio modes as long as it is not in shared mode.
When in shared disc or satellite video mode both the
radio and the VES™ have control of the video func-
tions. The VES™ has the ability to control the follow-
ing video modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, and TrackUp/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/Down and program all listed CD controls (Fast Forward,
Rewind, and Track Up/Down).
The VES™ can even control radio modes or video
modes while the radio is turned off. The VES™ can
access the radio modes or disc modes by navigating to
those modes on the VES™ and activating a radio mode
or disc mode. Information Mode Display

the rear occupant area.(fig. 115) When connecting an external source to the AUX
input, be sure to follow the standard color coding for
the VES™ jacks:

ENHANCED SEAT BELT USE REMINDER
SYSTEM (BELTALERT
®)
BeltAlert
®is a feature intended to remind the driver
and front passenger (if equipped with front passenger
BeltAlert®) to fasten their seatbelts. The feature is
active whenever the ignition is on. If the driver or front
seat passenger is unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light will turn on and remain on until both front
seatbelts are fastened.
The BeltAlert
®
warning sequence begins after the
vehicle speed is over 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 seatbelts are
fastened. After the sequence completes, the Seatbelt Reminder Light remains illuminated until the respective
seatbelts are fastened. The driver should instruct all
other occupants to fasten their seatbelts. If a front
seatbelt is unbuckled while traveling at speeds greater
than 8 km/h, BeltAlert
®will provide both audio and
visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert
®is not active when
the front passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert
®may
be triggered when an animal or heavy object is on the
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 enabled or disabled by your autho-
rized dealer. FIAT Group Automobiles S.p.A. does not
recommend deactivating BeltAlert
®.
NOTE: Although BeltAlert
®has been deactivated,
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to illuminate
while the driver’s or front passenger (if equipped with
BeltAlert
®) seat belt remains unfastened.
SEAT BELTS AND PREGNANT WOMEN
We recommend that pregnant women use the seat
belts throughout their pregnancy. Keeping the mother
safe is the best way to keep the baby safe.
