4 SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
SAFETY GUIDELINES
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.
Ensure that all persons read this manual carefully before using the system. It contains instructions on how to use the system in a safe and effective manner.
Do NOT attach any object to the touchscreen, doing so can result in damage to the touchscreen.
Please read and follow these safety precautions. Failure to do so may result in injury or property damage.
Glance at screen 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.
Ensure the volume level of the system is set to a level that still allows you to hear outside traffic and emer­gency vehicles.
Safe Usage Of The Uconnect System
Read all instructions in this manual carefully before using your system to ensure proper usage!
Your system is a sophisticated electronic device. Do not let young children use your system.
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you play your music or the system at loud volumes. Exercise caution when setting the volume on your system.
Keep drinks, rain and other sources of moisture away from your system. Besides damage to your system, moisture can cause electric shocks as with any electronic device.
NOTE: Many features of this system are speed dependent. For your own safety, it is not possible to use some of the touchscreen features while the vehicle is in motion.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Radiation
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommen­dations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific com­munity. The radio manufacturer believes the internal wire­less radio is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radio.
Care And Maintenance
Touchscreen
SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION 5
If necessary, use a lint-free cloth dampened with a cleaning solution, such as isopropyl alcohol or an iso­propyl alcohol and water solution ratio of 50:50. Be sure to follow the solvent manufacturer’s precautions and directions.
Disc Drive
Do not insert any damaged, warped, scratched or dirty Discs into the Disc Player.
Discs that have been modified with an adhesive label should not be used in the Disc Player.
Do not insert more than one Disc at a time into the drive slot.
1
Do not press the touchscreen with any hard or sharp objects (pen, USB stick, jewelry, etc.) which could scratch the touchscreen surface!
Do not spray any liquid or caustic chemicals directly on the screen! Use a clean and dry micro fiber lens cleaning cloth in order to clean the touchscreen.
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
6 SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
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! (Continued)
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.
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.
(Continued)
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 www.driveuconnect.com/software-update
to learn
about available Uconnect 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 your Owner’s Manual.
