If equipped, the overhead console contains an ASSIST and a SOS button.

    The ASSIST and SOS 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 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’ll be connected to someone who can help. Roadside Assistance will know what vehicle you’re driving and its location. Addi- tional fees may apply for roadside assis- tance.

    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 help is needed.

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 overhead console lights located within the ASSIST and SOS buttons will continuously illuminate 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.”

Even if the SOS Call system is fully functional, factors beyond FCA US LLC’s control may prevent or stop the SOS Call system operation. These include, but are not limited to, the following factors:

    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
    Equipment malfunction at the SOS operator facility
    Operator error by the SOS operator
    LTE (voice/data) or 4G (data) network congestion
    Weather
    Buildings, structures, geographic terrain, or tunnels
    Your vehicle may be transmitting data 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 the equipment.
