Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Reminder System
(BeltAlertT)
If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60
seconds of starting the vehicle, and if the vehicle speed is
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced Warning
System (BeltAlertt) will alert the driver to buckle their
seat belt. The driver should also instruct all other occu-
pants to buckle their seat belts. If the driver unbuckles the
seat belt while the vehicle is in motion, an immediate
chime will be heard and, the Enhanced Warning System
(BeltAlertt) will continue to chime and flash the Seat Belt
Warning Light for 96 seconds or until the driver’s seat
belt is buckled. BeltAlertt will be reactivated if the
driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds,
and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
BeltAlertt can be enabled or disabled by your authorized
dealer, or by following these steps:
NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first
60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON
or START position. DaimlerChrysler does not recom-
mend deactivating the Enhanced Warning System
(BeltAlertt).
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and
buckle the driver’s seat belt.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait
for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off.
3. Within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle
and then re-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least three
times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt
buckled.
4. Turn off the engine. A single chime will sound to
signify that you have successfully completed the pro-
gramming.
