WARNING!(Continued)
•The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) turns on
the Air Bag Warning Light on the instrument panel
if a malfunction in any part of the air bag system is
detected. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illumi-
nated, the air bag system may not be working
properly and the 9-1-1 system may not be able to
send a signal to a 9-1-1 operator. If the Air Bag
Warning Light is illuminated, have an authorized
dealer service your vehicle immediately.
•If anyone in the vehicle could be in danger (e.g.,
fire or smoke is visible, dangerous road conditions
or location), do not wait for voice contact from a
9-1-1 operator. All occupants should exit the vehicle
immediately and move to a safe location.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Do not add any aftermarket electrical equipment to
the vehicle’s electrical system. This may prevent
your vehicle from sending a signal to initiate an
emergency call. To avoid interference that can
cause the 9-1-1 Call system to fail, never add
aftermarket equipment (e.g., two-way mobile ra-
dio, CB radio, data recorder, etc.) to your vehicle’s
electrical system or modify the antennas on your
vehicle. If your vehicle loses power for any reason
(including during or after an accident) the
Uconnect® features, Apps and services among oth-
ers will not operate.

7.Why don’t I see the Yelp® App on my in-vehicle
touchscreen?The vehicle must be registered with
Uconnect® Access and have an active subscription
that includes the applicable feature or App. The App
may take several minutes to download after complet-
ing registration for the first time.
8.What is the difference between Yelp® and onboard
navigation?Both experiences are slightly different,
but may yield the same results. For example, while
both the onboard navigation system and Yelp® con-
veniently provide pre-defined search categories,
Yelp® gives the customer the ability to create their
own custom search category, such as “Guitar shops.”
In addition, the customer may be able to view a POI on
a map before routing there when using the onboard
navigation system. Both onboard navigation and
Yelp® provide phone numbers when they are avail-
able, but Yelp® provides the customer with user
ratings and hours of operation (when available). Since
Yelp® pulls its data from the cloud, the customer will
always get the most up-to-date information. Finally,
Yelp® requires that the vehicle be in range of a usable
and authorized cellular signal.
9.Why doesn’t Yelp® recognize my Voice Command
search request?To Search Yelp®, Uconnect® must
establish a connection to the Yelp® cloud-based ser-
vice, using the built in 3G connection in your
Uconnect® Access system. Be sure to wait until AF-
TER the beep, before you speak your search request.
Your voice command might not be fully captured if
there is a misrecognition, resulting in inaccurate re-
sults. You will see visual cues highlighted in green, in
the lower left corner of the radio which says “Listen-
ing” to let you know it’s your turn to say a command.
