SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING!
ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on the steer-
ing 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 emer-
gency 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
4 SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines
found in radio frequency safety standards and recommen-
dations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific com-
munity. The radio manufacturer believes the internal wire-
less 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
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.
If necessary, use a lint-free cloth dampened with a
cleaning solution, such as isopropyl alcohol or an iso-
propyl 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.
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 informa-
tion. This information allows systems and features in your
vehicle to function properly.
Your vehicle may be equipped with certain security fea-
tures to reduce the risk of unauthorized and unlawful
access to vehicle systems and wireless communications.
Vehicle software technology continues to evolve over time
1
SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION 5
and FCA US LLC, working with its suppliers, evaluates
and takes appropriate steps as needed. Similar to a com-
puter 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.
(Continued)
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 behav-
ior, take your vehicle to your nearest authorized
dealer immediately.
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).
6 SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Privacy of any wireless and wired communications cannot
be assured. Third parties may unlawfully intercept infor-
mation and private communications without your consent.
For further information, refer to “Onboard Diagnostic
System (OBD II) Cybersecurity” in your Owner’s Manual.
