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.

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

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.
