To Arm The System
With the doors and decklid closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP (OFF/LOCK) or removed, point
the key towards the vehicle then push and release the
lock button.
The system emits a visual signal and activates door
locking.
A self-diagnosis stage lasting approximately 30 seconds
precedes the activation of the alarm. During the self-
diagnosis, the vehicle security light flashes in the instru-
ment panel at a frequency of about one flash per second.
After the self-diagnosis stage, the vehicle security light
flashes at a lower frequency (approximately one flash
every three seconds).
If, after the alarm is switched on, a second visual signal
emit via the vehicle security light in the instrument
panel, wait about four seconds and switch off the alarm
by pushing the lock button, check that the doors and
decklid are closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pushing the unlock button.If the alarm emits a visual signal even when the doors
and decklid are closed correctly, a system malfunction
has occurred: in this case, contact a authorized vehicle
Dealership.
To Disarm The System
Deactivation
Push the unlock button.
The following operations are performed:
•
Two brief flashes of the direction indicators.
• Unlocking of the doors.
NOTE:
• If the central door locking system is released using
the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not disabled.
• In the event of accidental activation of the alarm, or
in any case to interrupt the visual signal cycle when
activated, it is possible to push the unlock button or
turn the ignition key to MAR (ON/RUN) for at least
five seconds, after which the system will deactivate.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 13

Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition switch is
first in the AVV/START or MAR/ON/RUN position, a
chime will signal for a few seconds. If the driver or
outboard front seat passenger (if equipped with out-
board front passenger seat BeltAlert) is unbuckled
when the ignition switch is first in the AVV/START or
MAR/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 passen-
ger seat is unoccupied). The BeltAlert warning se-
quence starts by blinking the Seat Belt Reminder Light
and sounding an intermittent chime. Once the BeltAlert
warning sequence has completed, the Seat Belt Re-
minder Light will remain on until the seat belts arebuckled. 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 recom-
mended 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 au-
thorized dealer. FCA US LLC does not recommend
deactivating BeltAlert.
26 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

4. Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies lowacross your hips, below your abdomen. To remove
slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder
belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the
latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug seat belt
reduces the risk of sliding under the seat belt in a
collision. 5. Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and
chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is comfort-
able and not resting on your neck. The retractor will
withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.
6. To release the belt, push the red button on the buckle. The seat belt will automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, slide the latch plate down the
webbing to allow the seat belt to retract fully.
