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 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 unauthor-
ized 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, evalu-
ates and takes appropriate steps as needed.
Similar to a computer or other devices, your
vehicle may require software updates to im-
prove the usability and performance of your
systems or to reduce the potential risk of unau-
thorized 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
systems are breached. It may be possible
that vehicle systems, including safety re-
lated systems, could be impaired or a loss
of vehicle control could occur that may
result in an accident involving serious in-
jury 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 malicious software,
and if installed in your vehicle, it may
increase the possibility for vehicle systems
to be breached.
•
As always, if you experience unusual ve-
hicle behavior, take your vehicle to your
nearest authorized dealer immediately.
NOTE:
•
FCA or your dealer may contact you di-
rectly regarding software updates.
•
To help further improve vehicle security
and minimize the potential risk of a secu-
rity breach, vehicle owners should:
•
Routinely check
www.driveuconnect.com/software-update
to learn about available Uconnect soft-
ware updates.
•
Only connect and use trusted media de-
vices
(e.g. personal mobile phones,
USBs, CDs).
Privacy of any wireless and wired communica-
tions cannot be assured. Third parties may
unlawfully intercept information and private
communications without your consent. For fur-
ther information, refer to “Privacy Practices – If
Equipped with Uconnect 8.4 radio” in “All About
Uconnect Access” in your Owner’s Manual Ra-
dio Supplement and “Onboard Diagnostic Sys-
tem (OBD II) Cybersecurity” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle”.
