2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owners Manual - ASSIST AND SOS MIRROR — IF EQUIPPED



ASSIST AND SOS MIRROR — IF EQUIPPED

— SOS Button
— ASSIST Button

 

If equipped, the rearview mirror contains a SOS and an ASSIST button.

Your vehicle may be transmitting data as authorized by the subscriber page 395.
The SOS and ASSIST buttons will only func- tion if you are connected to an operable LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) network, which comes as a built in function. Other Uconnect services will only be operable if your SiriusXM Guardian™ service is active and you are connected to an operable LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) network.

The ASSIST Button is used to automatically connect you to any one of the following support centers:

Roadside Assistance — If you get a flat tire, or need a tow, just push the ASSIST button and you will be connected to a representative for assistance. Roadside Assistance will know what vehicle you’re driving and its location. Additional fees may apply for roadside assis- tance.
SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care —

In-vehicle support for SiriusXM Guardian™.

Vehicle Customer Care — Total support for all other vehicle issues.
Push the SOS Call button on the rearview Mirror.

In case the SOS Call button is pushed in error, there will be a 10 second delay before the SOS Call system initiates a call to a SOS operator. To cancel the SOS Call connection, push the SOS

 

call button on the rearview Mirror or press the cancellation button on the Device Screen.

Termination of the SOS Call will turn off the green LED light on the rearview Mirror.

The LED light located between the ASSIST and SOS buttons on the rearview Mirror will turn green once a connection to a SOS operator has been made.
Once a connection between the vehicle and a SOS operator is made, the SOS Call system may transmit the following important vehicle information to a SOS operator:
Indication that the occupant placed a SOS Call
The vehicle brand
The last known GPS coordinates of the vehicle
You should be able to speak with the SOS operator through the vehicle audio system to determine if additional assistance is needed.

 

 

Your vehicle may be transmitting data as authorized by the subscriber.
Once a connection is made between the vehicle’s SOS Call system and the SOS oper- ator, the SOS operator may be able to open a voice connection with the vehicle to deter- mine if additional assistance is needed. Once the SOS operator opens a voice connection with the vehicle’s SOS Call system, the oper- ator should be able to speak with you or other vehicle occupants and hear sounds occurring

in the vehicle. The vehicle’s SOS Call system will attempt to remain connected with the SOS operator until the SOS operator termi- nates the connection.

The SOS operator may attempt to contact appropriate emergency responders and provide them with important vehicle information and GPS coordinates.

Vehicles sold in Mexico DO NOT have SOS Call system capabilities.

SOS or other emergency line operators in Mexico may not answer or respond to SOS system calls.

If the SOS Call system detects a malfunction, any of the following may occur at the time the malfunction is detected, and at the beginning of each ignition cycle:

The rearview Mirror light located between the ASSIST and SOS buttons will continuously be illuminated red.
The Device Screen will display the following message “Vehicle device requires service. Please contact an authorized dealer.”
An In-Vehicle Audio message will state “Vehicle device requires service. Please contact an authorized dealer.”

The ignition is in the OFF position
The vehicle’s electrical systems are not intact
The SOS Call system software and/or hard- ware are damaged during a crash
The vehicle battery loses power or becomes disconnected during a vehicle crash

 

LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) network and/or Global Positioning Satellite signals are unavailable or obstructed

Operator error by the SOS operator
LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) network congestion
Weather
Buildings, structures, geographic terrain, or tunnels

page 395 as authorized by the subscriber.

Never place anything on or near the vehicle’s LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) and GPS antennas. You could prevent LTE (voice/ data) or 4G (data) and GPS signal reception, which can prevent your vehicle from placing an emergency call. An operable LTE (voice/ data) or 4G (data) network connection and a GPS signal is required for the SOS Call system to function properly.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compli-

ance could void the user's authority to operate 7

the equipment.
