Even if the SOS Call system is fully functional, factors
beyond FCA US LLC's control may prevent or stop SOS Call
system operation. These include, but are not limited to,
the following factors:
 The ignition key is in OFF position.
 The vehicle's electrical systems are not intact.
 The vehicle battery loses power or becomes discon-
nected during a vehicle crash.
 The SOS Call system software and/or hardware is
damaged during a vehicle crash.
 LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) coverage and/or GPS
signals are unavailable or obstructed.
 Network congestion.
 Weather conditions.
 Buildings, structures, geographic terrain, or tunnels.
If your vehicle loses battery power for any reason
(including during or after an accident), the SOS Call
system, among other vehicle systems, will not operate.
Requirements
 This feature is available only on vehicles sold in the US
or Canada.
 Vehicle must be properly equipped with the SiriusXM
Guardian™ connected services. Vehicle must be regis-
tered with SiriusXM Guardian™ and have an active
subscription that includes the applicable feature.
 Vehicle must have an operable LTE (voice/data) or 4G
(data) network connection compatible with your device.
 Vehicle must be powered in the ON/RUN or ACC
(Accessory) position with a properly functioning
electrical system.
WARNING!
 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.
 Do not add any aftermarket electrical equipment to
the vehicle's electrical system. This may prevent your
vehicle from sending a signal to initiate an emer-
gency call. To avoid interference that can cause the
SOS Call system to fail, never add aftermarket equip-
ment (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 POWER FOR ANY REASON
(INCLUDING DURING OR AFTER AN ACCIDENT),
NEITHER THE VEHICLE BRANDED APPS NOR THE
SIRIUSXM GUARDIAN™ CONNECTED SERVICES WILL
OPERATE.
 The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light on the instrument panel if a
malfunction in any part of the air bag system is
detected. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated,
the air bag system may not be working properly and
the SOS Call system may not be able to send a signal
to the SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care center.
If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated, have an
authorized dealer service your vehicle immediately.
 Ignoring the Rearview Mirror Light could mean you
will not have SOS Call services if needed. If the
Rearview Mirror Light is illuminated, have an
authorized dealer service the SOS Call system
immediately.
 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 a Siri-
usXM Guardian™ Customer Care agent. All occu-
pants should exit the vehicle immediately and move
to a safe location.
 Failure to perform scheduled maintenance and
regular inspection of your vehicle may result in
vehicle damage, accident or injury.
Automatic SOS — If Equipped
Automatic SOS is a hands-free safety service that can
immediately connect you with help in the event that your
vehicle's airbags deploy. After an accident, a live agent will
contact you through the Uconnect system and alert
emergency services.
NOTE:
An active SiriusXM Guardian™ subscription is required for
this feature to function.
