Built-In Features
WARNING!
• ALWAYS obey traffic laws and pay attention to the road. Some UconnectAccess services, including 9-1-1 and Assist, will NOT work without an operable
1X (voice/data) or 3G (data) network connection.
• 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.
• Ignoring the rearview mirror light could mean you may not have 9-1-1 Call
service if needed. If the rearview mirror light is illuminated, have an authorized
dealer service the 9-1-1 Call system immediately.
• The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) turns on the Air Bag Warning Light on
the instrument panel if a malfunction is detected in any part of the airbag
system. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated, the air bag system may not
be working properly and the 9-1-1 system may not send a signal to a 9-1-1
operator if an air bag is deployed. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated,
have an authorized dealer service your vehicle immediately.
• If anyone in the vehicle could be in danger (e.g., fire or smoke is visible,
dangerous road conditions or location), do not wait for voice contact from a
9-1-1 operator. All occupants should exit the vehicle immediately and move to
a safe location.
• The 9-1-1 Call system is embedded into the vehicle’s electrical system. Do not
add aftermarket electrical equipment to the vehicle’s electrical system. This
may prevent your vehicle from sending a signal to initiate an emergency call. To
avoid interference that can cause the 9-1-1 Call system to fail, never add
aftermarket equipment (e.g., two-way mobile radio, CB radio, data recorder,
etc.) to your vehicle’s electrical system or modify the antennas on your vehicle.
• IF YOUR VEHICLE LOSES BATTERY POWER FOR ANY REASON (INCLUDING
DURING OR AFTER AN ACCIDENT), the Uconnect features, apps and ser-
vices, among others, will not operate.

please see the details of the Stolen Vehicle Assistance service below. When you

the mail address you provide should the alarm go off. You may also opt to have a
text message sent to your device.

ment immediately to file a stolen vehicle 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 recover it. Your vehicle must have an operable 1X (voice/
data) or 3G (data) network connection and must be registered with Uconnect
Access with an active subscription that includes the applicable feature.
7. WiFi Hotspot — WiFi Hotspot is an in-vehicle feature that connects your device to
an operable 1X (voice/data) or 3G (data) network using Uconnect Access and is
ready to go where ever you are. Once your vehicle is registered for Uconnect
Access, you can purchase a Wifi Hotspot subscription at the Uconnect Store.
After you've made your purchase, turn on your signal and connect your passengers
devices. It's never been easier to bring your home or office with you.
WARNING!
NEVER use the WiFi Hotspot when you are driving the vehicle. As the driver, you
should only use the WiFi Hotspot when the vehicle is parked in a safe location.
Failure to do so may result in an accident involving serious injury or death.
NOTE:
Your vehicle must have a working electrical system for any of the in vehicle Uconnect
features to operate.
