CAUTION!

• Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than speci-

fied Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine

coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and

may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Additive

Technology (OAT) engine coolant is different and

should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive

Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any

“globally compatible” coolant (antifreeze). If a

non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into

the cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system

will need to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh

OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032), by an autho-

rized dealer as soon as possible.

• Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant

(antifreeze) products. Do not use additional rust inhib-

itors or antirust products, as they may not be compat-

ible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the

radiator.

• This vehicle has not been designed for use with

propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze).

Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (anti-

freeze) is not recommended.

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 informa-

tion. 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 unauthorized 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 suppliers, evaluates and takes appro-

priate steps as needed. Similar to a computer or other

devices, your vehicle may require software updates to

improve the usability and performance of your systems or to

reduce the potential risk of unauthorized and unlawful

access to your vehicle systems.

MULTIMEDIA

577

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.

NOTE:
• FCA US LLC 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.driveuconnect.com

(U.S. Resi-

dents) or

www.driveuconnect.ca

(Canadian Residents)

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 informa-

tion and private communications without your consent. For

further information, refer to “Data Collection & Privacy” in

your Uconnect Owner’s Instruction Supplement or “Onboard

Diagnostic System (OBD II) Cybersecurity” in “Getting To

Know Your Instrument Panel”.

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 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 soft-

ware, 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.
