NOTE:
In order to provide SiriusXM Guardian Ser-
vices to you, we may record and monitor your
conversations with Roadside Assistance,
Uconnect Care, SiriusXM Guardian Care, or
Vehicle Care, whether such conversations are
initiated through the SiriusXM Guardian ser-
vices in your vehicle, your device, or via a
landline device, and may share information
obtained through such recording and moni-
toring in accordance with regulatory require-
ments. You acknowledge, agree, and consent
to any recording, monitoring or sharing of
information obtained through any such call
recordings. 2.
Emergency SOS Call (If Equipped) — The
rearview mirror contains a SOS Call but-
ton that, when pressed, may place a call
from your vehicle to a SiriusXM Guardian
Care operator, who can connect you to
emergency service operators, to request
help from local police, fire or ambulance
personnel. If this button is accidentally
pressed, you will have ten seconds to stop
the call. To cancel, press the SOS Call
button again or press the “Cancel” button
shown on the touchscreen. After ten sec-
onds has passed, the SOS call will be
placed and only the SOS Call operator can
cancel it. The LED light on the rearview
mirror will turn green once a connection to
a SOS Call operator has been made. The
green LED light will turn off once the SOS
Call is terminated. Have an authorized
dealer service the vehicle if the rearview
mirror light is continuously red. On
equipped vehicles, this feature requires a
functioning electrical system, a subscrip-
tion, and an operable network connection. If a connection is made between a SOS Call
operator and your vehicle, you understand
and agree that SOS Call operators will stay
on the line, even after you connect with
emergency services. The Emergency ser-
vices operator may, like any other emer-
gency call, record conversations and
sounds in and near your vehicle upon
connection.
3. Theft Alarm Notification — The Theft Alarm
Notification feature notifies you via email
or text (SMS) message when the vehicle’s
factory-installed security alarm system
has been set-off. There are a number of
reasons why your alarm may have been
triggered, one of which could be that your
vehicle was stolen. If so, please see the
details of the Stolen Vehicle Assistance
service below. When you activate, Theft
Alarm Notification is automatically set to
send you an email at the email address
you provide should the alarm go off. You
may also opt to have a text message sent
to your device.
