BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located
inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles,
trucks, motorcycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of
the vehicle.
The BSM warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle
moves into a blind spot zone.
The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute
the radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
Refer to “Blind Spot Monitoring” in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle”
in your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

Pinch Protection Feature
This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express
Close operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof
will automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, push the
switch forward and release to Express Close.
NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in Pinch Protect reversals, the
fourth close attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.
WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof. Never leave children unattended in avehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or
near the vehicle, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly
unattended children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while
operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any
window. This will minimize buffeting.

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 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
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.
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 yourvehicle’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 behavior, take your vehicle to your
nearest authorized dealer immediately.
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/software-update to learn about avail-
able 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 information and private communications without your
consent. For further information, refer to “Privacy Practices – If Equipped with
Uconnect 8.4 radio” in “All About Uconnect Access” in your Owner’s Manual Radio
Supplement and “Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II) Cybersecurity” in “Maintain-
ing Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD.
