CYBERSECURITY
Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and
may be equipped with both wired and wire-
less networks. These networks allow your
v
ehicle to
send and receive information. This
information allows systems and features in
your vehicle to function properly.
Your vehicle may be equipped with certain
security f
eatures to reduce the risk of unau-
thorized and unlawful access to vehicle
s
ystems an
d wireless communications.
Vehicle software technology continues to
evolve over time and FCA US LLC, working
with its suppliers, evaluates and takes appro
-
priate steps as needed. Similar to a
computer o
r other devices, your vehicle may
require software updates to improve the
usability and performance of your systems or
to reduce the potential risk of unauthorized
and unlawful access to your vehicle systems.
The risk of unauthorized and unlawful access
to your ve
hicle systems may still exist, even
if the most recent version of vehicle software
(such as Uconnect software) is installed.
NOTE:
FCA US LLC or your dealer may contact
you directly regarding software updates.
To help further improve vehicle security
and minimize the potential risk of a secu-
rity breach, vehicle owners should:
Routinely check www.driveucon-
nect.com (U.S. Residents) or
www.driveuconnect.ca (Canadian Resi-
dents) to learn about available Uconnect
s
oftware u
pdates.
Only connect and use trusted media
devices (e.g. personal mobile phones,
USBs, CDs).
Privacy of any wireless and wired communi-
cations cannot be assured. Third parties may
u
nlawfully
intercept information and private
communications without your consent. For
further information, refer to ”Data Collection
& Privacy” in your Uconnect Owner’s Manual
Supplement or “Onboard Diagnostic System
(OBD II) Cybersecurity” in “Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel” in your Owner’s
Manual.
WARNING!
It is not possible to know or to predict all
of the possible outcomes if your vehicle’s
systems are breached. It may be possible
that vehicle systems, including safety
related systems, could be impaired or a
loss of vehicle control could occur that
may result in an accident involving
serious injury or death.
ONLY insert media (e.g., USB, SD card,
or CD) into your vehicle if it came from a
trusted source. Media of unknown origin
could possibly contain malicious soft
-
ware, and if installed in your vehicle, it
may increa
se the possibility for vehicle
systems to be breached.
As always, if you experience unusual
vehicle behavior, take your vehicle to
your nearest authorized dealer immedi
-
ately.
