TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

CAUTION!

• Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than

specified Organic Additive Technology (OAT) en-
gine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine dam-
age and may decrease corrosion protection. Organic
Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant is differ-
ent and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic
Additive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (anti-
freeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (anti-
freeze). 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 authorized dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

• Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine

coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not use additional
rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not
be compatible 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 fea-
tures 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, evaluates
and takes appropriate steps as needed. Similar to a com-
puter 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.

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 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 behav-

ior, take your vehicle to your nearest authorized
dealer immediately.

MULTIMEDIA

403

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.driveuconnect.com/support/

software-update.html (U.S. Residents) 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 infor-
mation and private communications without your consent.
For further information, refer to “Onboard Diagnostic
System (OBD II) Cybersecurity” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel”.

IPOD/USB/MP3 CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED

This feature allows an iPod or external USB device to be
plugged into the USB port, located in the glove compart-
ment. If equipped, there may also be two USB ports located
on the lower trim piece right behind the driver’s sliding
door that are for charging devices only.

iPod control supports Mini, 4G, Photo, Nano, 5G iPod and
iPhone devices. Some iPod software versions may not fully
support the iPod control features. Please visit Apple’s
website for software updates.

NOTE:
• If the radio has a USB port, refer to the appropriate

Uconnect Owner’s Manual Supplement for iPod or
external USB device support capability.

• Connecting an iPod or consumer electronic audio device

to the AUX port located in the radio faceplate, plays
media, but does not use the iPod / MP3 control feature
to control the connected device.

Connecting The iPod Or External USB Device

Use the connection cable to connect an iPod or external
USB device to the vehicle’s USB connector port which is
located in the glove compartment.

NOTE:

The glove compartment will have a position where

the iPod or consumer electronic audio device cable can be
routed through without damaging the cable when closing
the lid. This allows routing of the cable without damaging
it while closing the lid. If a cut out is not available in the
glove compartment, route the cable away from the lid latch
and in a place that will allow the lid to close without
damaging the cable.

USB Port

406

MULTIMEDIA

the vehicle’s iPod/USB/MP3 control system (iPod or ex-
ternal USB device may take a few minutes to connect), the
audio device starts charging and is ready for use by
pushing radio buttons, as described below.

NOTE:

If the audio device battery is completely dis-

charged, it may not communicate with the iPod/USB/MP3
control system until a minimum charge is attained. Leav-
ing the audio device connected to the iPod/USB/MP3
control system may charge it to the required level.

Using This Feature

• The audio device can be played on the vehicle’s sound

system, providing metadata (artist, track title, album,
etc.) information on the radio display.

• The audio device can be controlled using the radio

buttons to Play, Browse, and List the iPod contents.

• The audio device battery charges when plugged into the

USB connector (if supported by the specific audio de-
vice).
