4G LTE connection, if equipped and
active. If required, data plans are
provided by a third party. Optionally,
a secured Wi-Fi hotspot such as a
compatible mobile device hotspot, a
home hotspot, or a public hotspot
can be used. Applicable data rates
may apply.
To connect the infotainment system
to a secured mobile device hotspot,
home hotspot, or public hotspot,
touch SETTINGS on the Home
Page, followed by Wi-Fi, and then
Manage Wi-Fi Networks. Select the appropriate Wi-Fi network, and
follow the on-screen prompts.
Download speeds may vary.
On most mobile devices, activation
of the Wi-Fi hotspot is in the
Settings menu under Mobile
Network Sharing, Personal Hotspot,
Mobile Hotspot, or similar.
Availability of Over-the-Air software
updates varies by vehicle and
country. For the U.S., see

Teen Driver
If equipped, this allows multiple
keys to be registered for beginner
drivers to encourage safe driving
habits. When the vehicle is started
with a Teen Driver key, it will
automatically activate certain safety
systems, allow setting of some features, and limit the use of others.
The Report Card will record vehicle
data about driving behavior that can
be viewed later. When the vehicle is

Driver Information Center (DIC)
displays a message that Teen Driver
is active.
To access:
1. Touch Settings on the Home Page, then touch Teen Driver.
2. Create a Personal Identification Number (PIN) by choosing a
four-digit PIN. Re-enter the PIN
to confirm. To change the PIN,
touch Change PIN.
The PIN is required to:
. Register or unregister keys.
. Change Teen Driver settings.
. Change or clear the Teen
Driver PIN.
. Access or delete Report
Card data.
