OCK/UNLOCK FAQS

1.
How long does it take to unlock or lock the door?

Depending on various conditions, it can take up to
three minutes or more for the request to get to your
vehicle.

2. Which is faster, my key fob or the Vehicle Branded
App? Your key fob will lock/unlock the door more
quickly, however its range is limited and your Vehicle
Branded App comes in handy for these and other
situations.
3. Will my vehicle be safe if I lose my device? People
sometimes lose their mobile devices, which is why
security measures have been engineered into the
Vehicle Branded App. Asking for your username,
password and SiriusXM Guardian™ Security PIN are
required for the activation of Remote services
through your mobile device. It is your responsibility to
protect your passwords and PINs.
4. Why can’t all mobile devices use the Vehicle Branded
App? The Vehicle Branded App is compatible with
most devices with the Apple® and Android™
operating systems. The capabilities of these devices
allow us to remotely command your vehicle. Other
operating systems may be supported in the future. 5.
Why is the Vehicle Branded App running slow? The
Vehicle Branded App relies on a mobile network
connection from your device to send commands to
your vehicle which must have an operable LTE (voice/
data), 4G (data), or 5G (data) network connection. If
either your device or your vehicle is in an area with
below average coverage, it may take longer to log in
and send commands.

SSISTANCE FAQS — IF EQUIPPED

1.
Can someone locate my vehicle?
To enhance your
privacy, and the privacy of others using your vehicle,
a stolen vehicle police report is required for you to
activate this service. You must involve local law
enforcement to have SiriusXM Guardian™ locate
your vehicle. We may also locate the vehicle for
other law enforcement or government agencies,
subject to a valid court order telling SiriusXM
Guardian™ to do so. We will also provide the service
for FCA entities to locate a vehicle that you have
purchased through them.

2. How will I know if my vehicle is recovered? After you
provide the SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care
agent with the stolen vehicle report, the agent will
work together with law enforcement to try to locate
your vehicle. If your vehicle is recovered, you will be
contacted by law enforcement.
3. Can SiriusXM Guardian™ lower my insurance rates?
Some insurance providers offer lower rates on
vehicles equipped with systems that can deter auto
theft. When shopping for insurance, be sure to inform
the insurance provider of your SiriusXM Guardian™
connected services subscription to find out if the
insurance provider can offer you a lower rate.
NOTE:Neither FCA nor SiriusXM® are insurance companies, and
SiriusXM Guardian™ is not an insurance product. You are
responsible for obtaining insurance coverage for your
vehicle and yourself.

TART FAQS

1.
How long does it take to remotely start my vehicle?

Depending on various conditions, it can take three
minutes or more for the request to get through to
your vehicle.

2. Which is faster, my key fob or the Vehicle Branded
App? Your key fob will remote start your vehicle more
quickly. However its range is limited. For example,
when you are leaving the stadium after the game, you
can use the Vehicle Branded App to remote start your
vehicle and have the inside of your vehicle
comfortable by the time you get to it.
3. Will my vehicle be safe if I lose my wireless device?
People sometimes lose their wireless devices, which
is why security measures have been engineered into
the Vehicle Branded App. Asking for your username,
password and SiriusXM Guardian™ Security PIN help
to ensure that nobody can start your vehicle if they
happen to find your device.
4. Can someone drive off with my vehicle using the App?
No. Driving your vehicle still requires the keys to be in
the vehicle. The Remote Start feature simply starts
the engine to warm up or cool down the interior
before you arrive.
5. Can I stop a vehicle that is being driven with the
cancel Remote Vehicle Start command? No. If the
vehicle is in motion, the cancel Remote Vehicle Start
button will not stop the vehicle. 6.

App? The Vehicle Branded App has been designed to
work on most devices with the Apple® and Android™
operating systems. The capabilities of these devices
allow us to remotely command your vehicle. Other

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the internal wireless radio is
far below the FCC and IC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the wireless radio will be used in such a
manner that the radio is 8 inches (20 cm) or further from
the human body.
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
