Compass/Temperature/AudioPush and release theCOMPASSbutton to dis-
play one of eight compass headings to indicate
the direction the vehicle is facing, the outside
temperature, and the current radio station.
Refer to “Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in this section for
additional information regarding the compass.
Average Fuel EconomyShows the average fuel economy since the last
reset (pushing and holding theRIGHTarrow
button as prompted in the EVIC display to
reset). When the fuel economy is reset, the
display will read “RESET” or show dashes for
two seconds. Then, the history information will
be erased, and the averaging will continue from
the last fuel reading before the reset.
Distance To Empty (DTE)Shows the estimated distance that can be trav-
elled with the fuel remaining in the tank. This
estimated distance is determined by a weighted
average of the instantaneous and average fuel
economy, according to the current fuel tank
level. This is not resettable.NOTE:
Significant changes in driving style or ve-
hicle loading will greatly affect the actual
drivable distance of the vehicle, regardless
of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles
(48 km) estimated driving distance, the DTE
display will change to a text display of"LOW
FUEL.” This display will continue until the ve-
hicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant
amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
"LOW FUEL"text and a new DTE value will be
displayed, based on the current values in the
DTE calculation and the current fuel tank level.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) — If
Equipped
Refer to “Starting And Operating,” “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) for system

Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between
Magnetic North and Geographic North. To com-pensate for the differences, the variance should
be set for the zone where the vehicle is driven,
per the zone map. Once properly set, the com-
pass will automatically compensate for the dif-
ferences and provide the most accurate com-
pass heading.
NOTE:
Magnetic and battery powered devices,
(such as cell phones, iPod’s, radar detec-
tors, PDA’s, and laptops) should be kept
away from the top of the instrument panel.
This is where the compass module is lo-
cated and such devices may interfere and
cause false compass readings.1. Place the ignition in the ON position.
2. Push and hold theCOMPASSbutton for
approximately two seconds.
3. Push theDOWN
arrow button until
“Compass Variance” message and the last
variance zone number displays in the EVIC.

NOTE:
The factory default Zone is 8. During pro-
gramming, the Zone value will wrap around
from Zone 15 to Zone 1.
Automatic Compass Calibration
When the vehicle is new, the compass may
appear erratic and the EVIC will display “CAL”
until the compass is calibrated. You may also
calibrate the compass by completing one or
more 360 degree turns (in an area free from
large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL”
Compass Variance Map
143

message displayed in the EVIC turns off. The
compass will now function normally.
NOTE:
A good calibration requires a level surface
and an environment free from large metallic
objects such as buildings, bridges, under-
ground cables, railroad tracks, etc.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the “CAL”
indicator does not appear in the EVIC display,
you must put the compass into the Calibration
Mode manually as follows:
1. Start the engine. Leave the gear selector in
PARK in order to enter the EVIC Program-
ming Menus.
2.
Push and release theMENUbutton until the
Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable
Features) menu displays in the EVIC.

ton until “Calibrate Compass” displays in the
EVIC.4. Push and release theRIGHT
arrow but-
ton to start the calibration. The “CAL” indica-
tor will display in the EVIC.
5. Complete one or more 360–degree turns (in
an area free from large metal or metallic
objects) until the “CAL” indicator turns off.
The compass will now function normally.
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 information. 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 unauthor-
ized 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, evalu-
ates and takes appropriate steps as needed.
Similar to a computer or other devices, your
vehicle may require software updates to im-prove the usability and performance of your
systems or to reduce the potential risk of unau-
thorized 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 your vehicle’s
systems are breached. It may be possible
that vehicle systems, including safety re-
lated systems, could be impaired or a loss
of vehicle control could occur that may
result in an accident involving serious in-
jury or death.

WARNING!(Continued)
•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 ve-
hicle behavior, take your vehicle to your
nearest authorized dealer immediately.
NOTE:
•FCA or your dealer may contact you di-
rectly regarding software updates.
•To help further improve vehicle security
and minimize the potential risk of a secu-
rity breach, vehicle owners should:
•
Routinely checkwww.driveuconnect.com/
software-updateto learn about available
Uconnect software updates.•Only connect and use trusted media de-
vices (e.g. personal mobile phones,
USBs, CDs).
Privacy of any wireless and wired communica-
tions cannot be assured. Third parties may
unlawfully intercept information and private
communications without your consent. For fur-
ther information, refer to “Onboard Diagnostic
System (OBD II) Cybersecurity” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle”.
SOUND SYSTEMS
