SAFETY GUIDELINES

Ensure that all persons read this manual carefully before using the radio system. It contains instructions on how to use the system in a safe and effective manner.
WARNING!
ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on the steer­ing wheel. You have full responsibility and assume all risks related to the use of the Uconnect features and applications in this vehicle. Only use Uconnect when it is safe to do so. Failure to do so may result in an accident involving serious injury or death.
Use these features only when safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is required, park in a safe location and set the parking brake.
Stop use immediately if a problem occurs. Failure to do so may cause injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized dealer to repair.
Make certain the volume level of the system is set to a level that still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles.
The law in some states prohibits the Front Seat DVD Viewer. As a result, it may be disabled prior to delivery to you. If you move to another state, you should consult your dealer for the proper enable/disable setting for your new state. Currently all states prohibit front seat video viewers except for: Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota and Ohio.

CYBERSECURITY

Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and may be equipped with both wired and wireless networks. These networks allow your vehicle to send and receive informa­tion. This information allows systems and features in your vehicle to function properly.
Your vehicle may be equipped with certain security fea­tures to reduce the risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to vehicle systems and wireless communications. Vehicle software technology continues to evolve over time and FCA US LLC, working with its suppliers, evaluates and takes appropriate steps as needed. Similar to a com­puter or other devices, your vehicle may require software updates to improve the usability and performance of your systems or to reduce the potential risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to your vehicle systems.
The risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to your vehicle systems may still exist, even if the most recent version of vehicle software (such as Uconnect software) is installed.
WARNING!
It is not possible to know or to predict all of the possible outcomes if your vehicle’s systems are breached. It may be possible that vehicle systems, including safety related systems, could be impaired or a loss of vehicle control could occur that may result in an accident involving serious injury or death.
ONLY insert media (e.g., USB, SD card, or CD) into your vehicle if it came from a trusted source. Media of unknown origin could possibly contain malicious software, and if installed in your vehicle, it may increase the possibility for vehicle systems to be breached.
As always, if you experience unusual vehicle behav­ior, take your vehicle to your nearest authorized dealer immediately.
SAFETY GUIDELINES 5
NOTE:
FCA or your dealer may contact you directly regarding software updates.
To help further improve vehicle security and minimize the potential risk of a security breach, vehicle owners should:
Routinely check software-update software updates.
Only connect and use trusted media devices (e.g. personal mobile phones, USBs, CDs).
Privacy of any wireless and wired communications cannot be assured. Third parties may unlawfully intercept infor­mation and private communications without your consent. For further information, refer to “Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II) Cybersecurity” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual.
