CYBERSECURITY

Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and may
be equipped with both wired and wireless net-
works. These networks allow your vehicle 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
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, working
with its suppliers, evaluates and takes appropriate
steps as needed. Similar to a computer or other
devices, your vehicle may require software up-
dates 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 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 sys-
tems 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 pos-
sibly contain malicious software, and if in-
stalled in your vehicle, it may increase the
possibility for vehicle systems to be
breached.
• As always, if you experience unusual vehicle
behavior, take your vehicle to your nearest
authorized dealer immediately.
NOTE:
FCA US or your dealer may contact you directly
regarding software updates.
To help further improve vehicle security and mini-
mize 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 de-
vices (e.g. personal mobile phones, USBs,
CDs).
Privacy of any wireless and wired communications
cannot be assured. Third parties may unlawfully inter-
cept information and private communications without
your consent. For further information, refer to "Onboard
Diagnostic System (OBD II) Cybersecurity" in "Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel" in your Owner's
