Scheduling An SCC Event
A scheduled cabin conditioning event can be pro-
grammed through the Uconnect system, or within the
vehicle App (if equipped), by enabling the feature then
setting a departure time.
When the SCC feature activates as scheduled, the
vehicle doors will lock and the Climate Control system
will activate to cool or heat the passenger cabin based
on the vehicle's settings.
NOTE:
•
The Climate Control system will automatically turn off
after 15 minutes during an SCC event. Starting the
vehicle before the end of the 15 minute cycle will
return the Climate Controls to their previous settings
when the ignition was last placed in the OFF position.
•
While an SCC event is active, the vehicle's windows
and sunroof (if equipped) will be disabled.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors,
hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Enter 'n Go™ Ignition for
unauthorized operation. It also monitors movement
inside the passenger compartment (volumetric protec-
tion — if equipped), cutting of battery cables, and unex-
pected lifting/tilting of the vehicle (anti-lift protection —
if equipped).
If something triggers the system, the Vehicle Security
system will provide the following audible and visible
signals:
•
The horn will pulse
•
The turn signals will flash
NOTE:
•
The Vehicle Security system is activated by the
Engine Immobilizer system, which is automatically
activated when you get out of the vehicle with the
key fob and lock the doors.
•
The Vehicle Security system is factory adjusted to
standards from different countries.
•
The Vehicle Security system is a complementary
security system developed to hinder the occurrence
of vehicle theft and prevent vandalism. It does not
prevent the theft of your vehicle; the system is a
deterrent.
