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 seat
belts. The feature is active whenever the igni-
tion 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 seat belts are
fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence begins after
the vehicle speed is over 5 mph (8 km/h), by
blinking the Seat Belt Reminder Light and
sounding an intermittent chime. Once the se-
quence starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seatbelts are
fastened. After the sequence completes, the
Seat Belt Reminder Light remains illuminated
until the respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occupants to
fasten their seat belts. If a front seat belt is
unbuckled while traveling at speeds greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h), BeltAlert® will provide
both audio and visual notification. The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is not ac-
tive when the front passenger seat is unoccu-
pied. 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
authorized dealer. Chrysler Group LLC 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 passen-
ger (if equipped with BeltAlert®) seat belt
remains unfastened.
Seat Belt Lock OutThe center rear seat belt system has a lock out
feature that will not allow you to extract the
center webbing unless the rear seat upper latch
is engaged.

book entries as tones for fast and easy access
to voice mail and pager entries. To use this
feature, dial the number you wish to call and
then press the
button and say “Send.” The
system will prompt you to enter the name or
number and say the name of the phonebook
entry you wish to send. The Uconnect® Phone
will then send the corresponding phone number
associated with the phonebook entry, as tones
over the phone. NOTE:
•
You may not hear all of the tones due to
mobile phone network configurations;
this is normal.
• Some paging and voice mail systems
have system time out settings that are too
short and may not allow the use of this
feature.

pad, the user must exercise caution and take
precautionary safety measures). By dialing a
number with your paired Bluetooth® mobile
phone, the audio will be played through your
vehicle’s audio system. The Uconnect® Phone
will work the same as if you dial the number
using Voice Command.
81

send the dial ring to the Uconnect® Phone
to play it on the vehicle audio system, so
you will not hear it. Under this situation,
after successfully dialing a number the user
may feel that the call did not go through
even though the call is in progress. Once
your call is answered, you will hear the
audio.

Voice Command
•For best performance, adjust the rearview
mirror to provide at least ½ in (1 cm) gap
between the overhead console (if equipped)
and the mirror.
• Always wait for the beep before speaking.
• Speak normally, without pausing, just as you
would speak to a person sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.
• Make sure that no one other than you is
speaking during a voice period.
• Performance is maximized under:
• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,
• low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather conditions.
• Even though the system is designed for
users speaking in European English, Dutch,
French, German, Italian, or Spanish accents,
the system may not always work for some. •
When navigating through an automated sys-
tem such as voice mail, or when sending a
page, at the end of speaking the digit string,
make sure to say “Send”.
• Storing names in the phonebook when the
vehicle is not in motion is recommended.
• It is not recommended to store similar sound-
ing names in the Uconnect® Phonebook.
• Phonebook (Downloaded and Uconnect®
Phone Local) recognition rate is optimized
when the entries are not similar.
• Numbers must be spoken in single digits.
“800” must be spoken “eight-zero-zero” not
“eight hundred”.
• You can say “O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).
• Even though international dialing for most
number combinations is supported, some
shortcut dialing number combinations may
not be supported.
• In a convertible vehicle, system performance
may be compromised with the convertible top
down. Phone Far End Audio Performance
•
Audio quality is maximized under:
• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,
• low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather conditions, and
• operation from the driver seat.
• Performance, such as audio clarity, echo,
and loudness to a large degree rely on the
phone and network, and not the Uconnect®
Phone.
• Echo at the phone far end can sometimes be
reduced by lowering the in-vehicle audio
volume.
• In a convertible vehicle, system performance
may be compromised with the convertible top
down.
