To enhance your
privacy, and the privacy of others using your vehicle,
a stolen vehicle police report is required for you to
activate this service. You must involve local law
enforcement to have SiriusXM Guardian™ locate
your vehicle. We may also locate the vehicle for
other law enforcement or government agencies,
subject to a valid court order telling SiriusXM
Guardian™ to do so. We will also provide the service
for FCA entities to locate a vehicle that you have
purchased through them.

2. How will I know if my vehicle is recovered? After you
provide the SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care
agent with the stolen vehicle report, the agent will
work together with law enforcement to try to locate
your vehicle. If your vehicle is recovered, you will be
contacted by law enforcement.
3. Can SiriusXM Guardian™ lower my insurance rates?
Some insurance providers offer lower rates on
vehicles equipped with systems that can deter auto
theft. When shopping for insurance, be sure to inform
the insurance provider of your SiriusXM Guardian™

is why security measures have been engineered into
the Vehicle Branded App. Asking for your username,
password and SiriusXM Guardian™ Security PIN help
to ensure that nobody can start your vehicle if they
happen to find your device.
4. Can someone drive off with my vehicle using the App?
No. Driving your vehicle still requires the keys to be in
the vehicle. The Remote Start feature simply starts
the engine to warm up or cool down the interior
before you arrive.
5. Can I stop a vehicle that is being driven with the
cancel Remote Vehicle Start command? No. If the
vehicle is in motion, the cancel Remote Vehicle Start
button will not stop the vehicle. 6.

ESC Operating Modes
Depending upon model and mode of operation, the ESC
system may have multiple operating modes.
ESC On
This is the normal operating mode for the ESC. Whenever
the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in this mode.
This mode should be used for most driving conditions.
Alternate ESC modes should only be used for specific
reasons as noted in the following paragraphs.
Partial Off
This mode may be useful if the vehicle becomes stuck.
This mode may modify TCS and ESC thresholds for
activation, which allows for more wheel spin than normally
allowed.
To enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily push the ESC
OFF button and the ESC OFF Indicator Light will illuminate.
To turn the ESC on again, momentarily push the ESC OFF
button and the ESC OFF Indicator Light will turn off.
NOTE:For vehicles with multiple partial ESC modes, the push and
release of the button will toggle the ESC modes. Multiple
attempts may be required to return to “ESC On”. Full Off — If Equipped
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only
and should not be used on any public roadways. In this
mode, TCS and ESC features are turned off. To enter the
“Full Off” mode, push and hold the ESC OFF button for five
seconds while the vehicle is stopped with the engine
running. After five seconds, a chime will sound, the ESC
OFF Indicator Light will illuminate, and the “ESC OFF”
message will display in the instrument cluster. To turn ESC
on again, momentarily push the ESC OFF button.
NOTE:System may switch from ESC “Full Off” to “Partial Off”
mode when vehicle exceeds a predetermined speed.
When the vehicle speed slows below the predetermined
speed the system will return to ESC “Full Off”.
ESC modes may also be affected by drive modes (if
equipped).
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
And ESC OFF Indicator Light
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
in the instrument cluster will come on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode. It
should go out with the engine running. If the
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light comes on
continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has
been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains on
after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been
driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than
30 mph (48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
WARNING!
 When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS functionality of
ESC (except for the limited slip feature described in
the TCS section) has been disabled and the ESC OFF
Indicator Light will be illuminated. When in “Partial
Off” mode, the engine power reduction feature of
TCS is disabled, and the enhanced vehicle stability
offered by the ESC system is reduced.
 Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is disabled when the ESC
system is in the “Partial Off” mode.
WARNING!
In the ESC “Full Off” mode, the engine torque reduc -
tion and stability features are disabled. Therefore,
enhanced vehicle stability offered by the ESC system
is unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver,
the ESC system will not engage to assist in main -
taining stability. ESC “Full Off” mode is intended for
off-highway or off-road use only.
 The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot prevent
the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions. ESC cannot prevent all
accidents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or
hydroplaning. ESC also cannot prevent collisions.

Trailer Tire Pressure Pairing

Follow the on screen prompts to select the number of
axles (1-3), the number of trailer tires (2, 4, 6, 8, or 12),
and the set trailer tire pressure. The range is selectable
anywhere between 25-125 psi (172-862 kPa).
Once psi (kPa) is programmed, the pairing screen
appears. Tire sensors must be paired in order shown.
Starting with Tire 1, deflate tire by 5 psi (34 kPa) and wait
for a horn chirp. It may take up to three minutes for the
chirp to occur, indicating that the sensor has paired.
Repeat process on each tire, in order, until complete.
Do not exit the pairing screen until process is complete.
If pairing was unsuccessful, a double horn chirp will
sound, and a prompt on the touchscreen will allow you to
retry the procedure; “Retry” will only appear when setup
fails. Each tire must be successfully paired during a single
pairing process to receive the success screen.
NOTE:If the pairing process times out after three minutes of no
communication with a sensor, a double horn chip will
occur indicating the pairing has failed and a message will
display on the radio indicating the process was unsuc -
cessful. Under certain circumstances, the double horn
chirp may continue to happen every three minutes indi -
cating the failed pairing. If this happens, the horn chirping
may be canceled by cycling the ignition button OFF and
then back to RUN position.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Low Pressure Warnings
When a tire pressure low in one or more of the active road
tires is detected, the instrument cluster will display a
message stating “Trailer Tire Pressure Low”.
The instrument cluster will then display the TTPMS graphic
showing the pressure values of each tire with the low tire
pressure values in a different color.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible
and inflate the tires with a low pressure condition (those in
a different color in the instrument cluster graphic) to the
customer programmed target tire pressure value as
shown at the top of the TTPMS instrument cluster graphic.
Once the tire(s) are inflated, the system will automatically
update the graphic display in the instrument cluster,
returning to its original color. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TTPMS to receive the updated information. Service TTPMS Warning
If a system fault is detected, the instrument cluster will
display a “Trailer Tire Pressure System Service Required”
message for a minimum of five seconds.
Once the system fault is corrected the "Trailer Tire
Pressure System Service Required" message will no
longer be displayed. The vehicle may need to be driven for
up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the
TTPMS to receive the trailer tire pressure information.
Trailer Tire Pressure System Not Configured
A “Trailer Tire Pressure System Not Configured” message
will be displayed in the instrument cluster on the TTPMS
instrument cluster graphic when a trailer number is
selected that has not had trailer tire pressure sensors
paired. To correct this condition, see
Úpage 191.
Trailer Sensors Detected Do Not Match Active Trailer
The “Trailer Sensors Detected Do Not Match Active
Trailer” message will be displayed in the instrument
cluster when the trailer sensors being received by the
TTPMS module do not match the trailer sensors paired to
the current trailer number selected. This message will be
displayed when the sensors being received completely
match the sensors paired to another trailer number
configured in the TTPMS module.
To correct this condition, the correct trailer number must
be selected in the radio
