CYBERSECURITY

Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and may be
equipped with both wired and wireless networks. These
networks allow your vehicle to send and receive infor-
mation. This information allows systems and features in
your vehicle to function properly.

Your vehicle may be equipped with certain security
features to reduce the risk of unauthorized and unlawful
access to vehicle systems and wireless communications.

Vehicle software technology continues to evolve over
time and FCA US LLC, working with its suppliers,
evaluates and takes appropriate steps as needed. Similar
to a computer or other devices, your vehicle may require
software updates to improve the usability and perfor-
mance of your systems or to reduce the potential risk of
unauthorized and unlawful access to your vehicle sys-
tems.

376

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

The risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to your
vehicle systems may still exist, even if the most recent
version of vehicle software (such as Uconnect software) is
installed.

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 im-
paired 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 mali-
cious software, and if installed in your vehicle, it

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

may increase the possibility for vehicle systems to
be breached.

• As always, if you experience unusual vehicle be-

havior, take your vehicle to your nearest authorized
dealer immediately.

NOTE:

• FCA or your dealer may contact you directly regarding

software updates.

• To help further improve vehicle security and minimize

the potential risk of a security breach, vehicle owners
should:

• Routinely check www.driveuconnect.com/software-

update to learn about available Uconnect software
updates.

• Only connect and use trusted media devices (e.g.

personal mobile phones, USBs, CDs).
