message sent to your device.

enforcement immediately to file a stolen ve-
hicle report. Once this report has been filed,
Uconnect care can help locate your vehicle.
The Uconnect Care agent will ask for the
stolen vehicle report number issued by local
law enforcement. As long as your vehicle has
an operable 1X (voice/data) or 3G (data)
network connection, the Uconnect Care
Agent may be able to locate the stolen vehicle
and work with law enforcement to help re-
cover it. Your vehicle must have an operable
1X (voice/data) or 3G (data) network connec-
tion and must be registered with Uconnect
Access with an active subscription that in-
cludes the applicable feature.
