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 unau-
thorized and unlawful access to vehicle systems and wireless communications
.
Vehicle soft-
ware technology continues to evolve over time and FCA US LLC, working with its suppli-
ers, evaluates and takes appropriate steps as needed
.
Similar to a computer or other
devices, your vehicle may require software updates to improve the usability and perfor-
mance of your systems or to reduce the potential risk of unauthorized and unlawful ac-
cess 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 vehi-
cle’s systems 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 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 vehicle behavior, take your vehicle to your
nearest authorized dealer immediately
.
NOTE:
•
FCA or your dealer may contact you directly regarding software updates
.
•
To help further improve vehicle security and minimize the potential risk of a security
breach, vehicle owners should:
•
Routinely check www
com/software-update to learn about available
Uconnect software updates
.
•
Only connect and use trusted media devices (e
.
g
.
personal mobile phones, USBs,
CDs)
.
Privacy of any wireless and wired communications cannot be assured
.
Third parties may
unlawfully intercept information and private communications without your consent
.
