SOS Call System Limitations
Vehicles sold in Mexico DO NOT have SOS Call

system capabilities.
SOS or other emergency line operators in Mexico

may not answer or respond to SOS system calls.
If the SOS Call system detects a malfunction, any

of the following may occur at the time the

malfunction is detected, and at the beginning of

each ignition cycle:



The light located within the ASSIST and SOS

buttons will continuously be illuminated red.



The Device Screen will display the following

message “Vehicle device requires service.

Please contact an authorized dealer.”



An In-Vehicle Audio message will state “Vehicle

device requires service. Please contact an

authorized dealer.”

WARNING!



If anyone in the vehicle could be in danger

(e.g., fire or smoke is visible, dangerous road

conditions or location), do not wait for voice

contact from an Emergency Services Agent. All

occupants should exit the vehicle immediately

and move to a safe location.



Never place anything on or near the vehicle’s

operable network and GPS antennas. You

could prevent operable network and GPS

signal reception, which can prevent your

vehicle from placing an emergency call. An

operable network and GPS signal reception is

required for the SOS Call system to function

properly.



The SOS Call system is embedded into the

vehicle’s electrical system. Do not add after

market electrical equipment to the vehicle’s

electrical system. This may prevent your

vehicle from sending a signal to initiate an

emergency call. To avoid interference that can

cause the SOS Call system to fail, never add

aftermarket equipment (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 BATTERY POWER FOR ANY REASON

(INCLUDING DURING OR AFTER AN ACCI

DENT), THE UCONNECT FEATURES, APPS AND

SERVICES, AMONG OTHERS, WILL NOT

OPERATE.



Modifications to any part of the SOS Call

system could cause the air bag system to fail

when you need it. You could be injured if the

air bag system is not there to help protect you.

WARNING!

364

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Even if the SOS Call system is fully functional,

factors beyond FCA US LLC’s control may prevent

or stop the SOS Call system operation. These

include, but are not limited to, the following

factors:



The ignition is in the OFF position



The vehicle’s electrical systems are not intact



The SOS Call system software and/or hardware

are damaged during a crash



The vehicle battery loses power or becomes

disconnected during a vehicle crash



LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) network and/or

Global Positioning Satellite signals are unavail

able or obstructed



Equipment malfunction at the SOS operator

facility



Operator error by the SOS operator



LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) network conges

tion



Weather



Buildings, structures, geographic terrain, or

tunnels

NOTE:



Your vehicle may be transmitting data as autho

rized by the subscriber.



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. An operable LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data)

network connection and a GPS signal is

required for the SOS Call system to function

properly.



Changes or modifications not expressly

approved by the party responsible for compli

ance could void the user's authority to operate

the equipment.

WARNING!



Ignoring the Rearview Mirror light could mean

you will not have SOS Call services. If the Rear

view Mirror light is illuminated, have an autho

rized dealer service the SOS Call system

immediately.



The Occupant Restraint Control module turns

on the Air Bag Warning Light on the instru

ment panel if a malfunction in any part of the

If frequent jump starting is required to start your

vehicle you should have the battery and charging

system tested at an authorized dealer.

REFUELING IN EMERGENCY – IF EQUIPPED

The vehicle may be equipped with a refueling

funnel

page 366. Vehicles with diesel engines

will have a cap to remove to begin the refueling

process. If refueling is necessary, while using an

approved gas can, insert the refueling funnel into

the filler neck opening. Take care to open both

flappers with the funnel to avoid spills.

Diesel Fuel Cap

NOTE:

In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel

door from opening. If this occurs, lightly push on

the fuel door to break the ice buildup and

re-release the fuel door using the inside release

button. Do not pry on the door.

Refueling Funnel

CAUTION!

Accessories plugged into the vehicle power

outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,

even when not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.).

Eventually, if plugged in long enough without

engine operation, the vehicle’s battery will

discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life

and/or prevent the engine from starting.

CAUTION!

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top

off” the fuel tank after filling.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

377

(Continued)

Emergency Gas Can Refueling
Most gas cans will not open the flapper doors. A

funnel is provided to allow emergency refueling

with a gas can.
See below steps for refueling:
1. Retrieve funnel from under the right rear seat.

Fuel Funnel Location

2. Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as the

fuel nozzle.

Inserting Funnel

3. Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper

doors open.

4. Pour fuel into funnel opening.
5. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to

putting back in the spare tire storage area.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be

serviced by an authorized dealer.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce

the potential for overheating by taking the

appropriate action.



On the highways — slow down.



In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission

into NEUTRAL (N) , but do not increase engine

idle speed.

WARNING!



Never have any smoking materials lit in or near

the vehicle when the fuel door is open or the

tank is being filled.



Never add fuel when the engine is running. This

is in violation of most state and federal fire regu

lations and may cause the Malfunction Indicator

Light to turn on.



A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable

container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be

burned. Always place fuel containers on the

ground while filling.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage

your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads

HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the

vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until

the pointer drops back into the normal range. If

the pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear

continuous chimes, turn the engine off

immediately and call for service.

WARNING!

378

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

NOTE:

There are steps that you can take to slow down an

impending overheat condition:



If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The

A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling

system and turning the A/C off can help remove

this heat.



You can also turn the temperature control to

maximum heat, the mode control to floor and

the blower control to high. This allows the heater

core to act as a supplement to the radiator and

aids in removing heat from the engine cooling

system.

MANUAL PARK RELEASE

In order to move the vehicle in cases where the

transmission will not shift out of Park (P) (such as

a depleted battery), a Manual Park Release is

available.

Follow these steps to use the Manual Park

Release:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool,

remove the manual park release cover located

in front of the gear selector, to access the

release tether strap.

Manual Park Release Cover

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine

coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator.

If you see or hear steam coming from under the

hood, do not open the hood until the radiator

has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling

system pressure cap when the radiator or

coolant bottle is hot.

WARNING!

Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the

parking brake before activating the Manual Park

Release. In addition, you should be seated in the

driver’s seat with your foot firmly on the brake

pedal when activating the Manual Park Release.

Activating the Manual Park Release will allow

your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured by the

parking brake, or by proper connection to a tow

vehicle. Activating the Manual Park Release on

an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious

injury or death for those in or around the vehicle.
