What Is SiriusXM Guardian™?
SiriusXM Guardian™ uses an embedded device in the
Uconnect system installed in your vehicle, which receives
GPS signals and communicates with the SiriusXM
Guardian™ Customer Care center via wireless and
landline communications networks. Depending on the
type of device in your vehicle, some SiriusXM Guardian™
connected services require an operable LTE (voice/data)
or 4G (data) network compatible with your device.
SiriusXM Guardian™ is available only on equipped
vehicles purchased within the continental United States,
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Canada.
NOTE:
 Certain SiriusXM Guardian™ connected services are
dependent upon an operative telematics device, a
cellular connection, navigation map data, and GPS
satellite signal reception, which can limit the ability to
reach the response center or reach emergency
support.
 Not all features of SiriusXM Guardian™ are available
everywhere at all times, particularly in remote or
enclosed areas.
 Other factors outside the control of SiriusXM
Guardian™ that may limit or prevent service delivery
are hills, structures, buildings, tunnels, weather,
damage to the electrical system or other important
parts of your vehicle, network congestion, civil distur -
bances, actions of third parties or the government,
Internet failure, and/or the physical location of your
vehicle, such as in an underground parking structure or
under a bridge. Not all SiriusXM Guardian™ features are available for all
models.
SiriusXM Guardian™ provides:

The ability to remotely lock/unlock and remote start
your vehicle from virtually anywhere by using the
Vehicle Branded App or your computer.
 If equipped — Send & Go capability with the Vehicle
Branded App. Use the Vehicle Branded App to easily
search, map and send your locations directly to your
Uconnect Navigation.
 The ability to locate your vehicle, when you forget
where you parked, using the Vehicle Finder function of
the Vehicle Branded App.
Before you drive, familiarize yourself with the easy-to-use
Uconnect system and SiriusXM Guardian™ connected
services.

SOS Call — If Equipped
Access To Emergency Services At The Push Of A Button
SiriusXM Guardian™ In-Vehicle Assistance Features
With SiriusXM Guardian™, your vehicle has onboard
assistance features located on the rearview mirror or
overhead console designed to enhance your driving
experience if you should ever need assistance or support.
Description
SOS Call offers a convenient way to get in contact with a
SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care agent in the event of
an emergency. When the connection between the vehicle
and the live agent is made, your vehicle will automatically
transmit location information. In the event of a minor
collision, medical or any other emergency, press the SOS
button to be connected to a call center agent who can
send emergency assistance to your vehicle’s location.
NOTE:Certain SiriusXM Guardian™ connected services are
dependent on an operational Uconnect system, cellular
network availability that is compatible with the device in
your vehicle, and GPS network availability. Not all features
of SiriusXM Guardian™ are available everywhere at all
times, particularly in remote or enclosed areas.WARNING!
Some SiriusXM Guardian™ connected services,
including SOS Call and Roadside Assistance Call, will
NOT work without a network connection compatible
with your device.

How It Works

1. Push the SOS Call button; the indicator light will turn green indicating a call has been placed.

NOTE:
In case the SOS Call button is accidentally pushed,
there is a 10-second delay before the SOS call is
placed. The system will verbally alert you that a
call is about to be made. To cancel the SOS Call
connection, push the SOS Call button on the
rearview mirror or overhead console or press
the Cancel button on the touchscreen within
10 seconds.
 During an SOS Call, the Bluetooth®-paired phone
is disconnected so incoming or outgoing calls will
go through your mobile device versus the
hands-free system which is not available due to
the SOS Call.
2. Once a connection between the vehicle and a SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care agent is made,
the agent will stay on the line with you.
NOTE:Calls between the vehicle occupants and the SiriusXM
Guardian™ Customer Care center may be recorded or
monitored for quality assurance purposes. Through your
enrollment in and use of the SiriusXM Guardian™
connected services, you consent to being recorded. SOS Call System Limitations
Vehicles that have been purchased in the US and that
travel into Mexico and Canada may have limited services.
In particular, responses to SOS calls or other emergency
services may be unavailable or very limited. Vehicles
purchased outside the United States and Canada are
unable to receive SiriusXM Guardian™ connected
services.
If the SOS Call system detects a malfunction, any of the
following may occur at the time the malfunction is
detected:

The light will continuously be illuminated red.
 The screen will display the following message “Vehicle
phone requires service. Please contact your dealer.”
 An in-vehicle audio message will state “Vehicle phone
requires service. Please contact your dealer.”
Even if the SOS Call system is fully functional, factors
beyond FCA US LLC’s control may prevent or stop SOS Call
system operation. These include, but are not limited to,
the following factors:
 The ignition key is in OFF position.
 The vehicle’s electrical systems are not intact.
 The vehicle battery loses power or becomes
disconnected during a vehicle crash. 
The SOS Call system software and/or hardware is
damaged during a vehicle crash.
 LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) coverage and/or GPS
signals are unavailable or obstructed.
 Network congestion.
 Weather conditions.
 Buildings, structures, geographic terrain, or tunnels.
If your vehicle loses battery power for any reason
(including during or after an accident), the SOS Call
system, among other vehicle systems, will not operate.
Requirements
 This feature is available only on vehicles sold in the US
or Canada.
 Vehicle must be properly equipped with the SiriusXM
Guardian™ connected services. Vehicle must be regis -
tered with SiriusXM Guardian™ and have an active
subscription that includes the applicable feature.
 Vehicle must have an operable LTE (voice/data) or 4G
(data) network connection compatible with your device.
 Vehicle must be powered in the ON/RUN or ACC
(Accessory) position with a properly functioning elec -
trical system.

Automatic SOS — If Equipped
Automatic SOS is a hands-free safety service that can
immediately connect you with help in the event that your
vehicle’s airbags deploy. After an accident, a live agent will
contact you through the Uconnect system and alert
emergency services.
NOTE:An active SiriusXM Guardian™ subscription is required for
this feature to function. After a crash where the airbags deploy:

1. Automatic SOS will initiate a call with an agent.

2. An agent will receive the call and confirm the location
of the emergency.
3. If needed, the agent will request the assistance of emergency services.
4. First responders will arrive on scene. The agent will remain on the call until emergency services arrive.
NOTE:
Agents are available 24/7 to assist you in the case of
an emergency.
 On your behalf, agents are able to notify family
members about the collision.
 Agents can brief first responders of the situation before
they arrive on scene.
 In the event vehicle occupants are unable to speak,
emergency services will be dispatched based on the
last known GPS coordinates.
 SiriusXM Guardian™ connected services are depen -
dent upon an operative telematics device, a cellular
connection, navigation map data, and GPS satellite
reception, which can limit the ability to reach the
response center or reach emergency support.
 Terms of service of the Uconnect and the SiriusXM
Guardian™ subscriber agreement apply. See terms of
services for complete service limitation.
WARNING!
Never place anything on or near the vehicle’s LTE
(voice/data) or 4G (data) and GPS antennas. You
could prevent LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) and GPS
signal reception, which can prevent your vehicle from
placing an emergency call.
 Do not add any aftermarket electrical equipment to
the vehicle’s electrical system. This may prevent your
vehicle from sending a signal to initiate an emer -
gency call. To avoid interference that can cause the
SOS Call system to fail, never add aftermarket equip -
ment (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 POWER FOR ANY REASON
(INCLUDING DURING OR AFTER AN ACCIDENT),
NEITHER THE VEHICLE BRANDED APPS NOR THE
SIRIUSXM GUARDIAN™ CONNECTED SERVICES WILL
OPERATE.
 The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light on the instrument panel if a
malfunction in any part of the air bag system is
detected. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated,
the air bag system may not be working properly and
the SOS Call system may not be able to send a signal
to the SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care center. If
the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated, have an
authorized dealer service your vehicle immediately.Ignoring the Rearview Mirror Light could mean you
will not have SOS Call services if needed. If the
Rearview Mirror Light is illuminated, have an autho -
rized dealer service the SOS Call system immedi -
ately.
 If anyone in the vehicle could be in danger
(e.g., fire or smoke is visible, dangerous road condi-
tions or location), do not wait for voice contact from
a SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care agent.
All occupants should exit the vehicle immediately
and move to a safe location.
 Failure to perform scheduled maintenance and
regular inspection of your vehicle may result in
vehicle damage, accident or injury.

AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) —
I
F EQUIPPED
BSM uses two radar sensors, located inside the taillights,
to detect highway licensable vehicles (automobiles,
trucks, motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones
from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.

Rear Detection Zones

When the vehicle is started, the BSM Warning Light will
momentarily illuminate in both outside rearview mirrors to
let the driver know that the system is operational. The
BSM system sensors operate when the vehicle is in any
forward gear and enters standby mode when the vehicle is
in PARK. The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane
width on both sides of the vehicle 12 ft (3.8 m). The zone
length starts at the outside rearview mirror and extends
approximately 10 ft (3 m) beyond the rear fascia/bumper
of the vehicle. The BSM system monitors the detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will
alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:

The BSM system DOES NOT alert the driver about
rapidly approaching vehicles that are outside the
detection zones.
 BSM may experience dropouts (blinking on and off) of
the side mirror warning indicator lights when a motor -
cycle or any small object remains at the side of the
vehicle for extended periods of time (more than a
couple of seconds).
The BSM system can become blocked if snow, ice, mud, or
other road contaminations accumulate on the rear fascia/
bumper where the radar sensors are located. The system
may also detect blockage if the vehicle is operated in
areas with extremely low radar returns such as a desert or
parallel to a large elevation drop. If blockage is detected,
a “Blind Spot Temporarily Unavailable, Wipe Rear
Corners” message will display in the cluster, both mirror
lights will illuminate, and BSM and RCP alerts will not
occur. This is normal operation. The system will
automatically recover and resume function when the
condition clears. To minimize system blockage, do not
block the area of the rear fascia/bumper where the radar
sensors are located with foreign objects (bumper stickers,
bicycle racks, etc.) and keep it clear of road
contaminations.

Radar Sensor Locations

If the system detects degraded performance due to
contamination or foreign objects, a message will warn you
of a blocked sensor and the warning indicators in side
view mirrors will be on. The warning indicators will remain
illuminated until blockage clearing conditions are met.
First clear the taillights around the sensors of the
blockage. After removing the blockage, the following
procedure can be used to reset the system:
Cycle the ignition from ON to OFF and then back ON.
If the blockage message is still present after cycling the
ignition and driving in traffic, check again for a blockage.
The system may also detect a blockage if the vehicle is
operated in areas with extremely low radar returns such as
a desert or parallel to a large elevation drop.
