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 se-
curity 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 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, in-
cluding safety related systems, could
be impaired or a loss of vehicle control
could occur that may result in an acci-
dent 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 ori-
gin could possibly contain malicious
software, and if installed in your ve-
hicle, 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 immedi-
ately.
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 software 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 “Onboard Diagnostic
System (OBD II) Cybersecurity” in your Owner’s
Manual.
