Jeep Wrangler: Using SiriusXM Guardian™ / SOS Call System Limitations
Vehicles that have been purchased in the US
and that travel into Mexico and Canada may
have limited services. In particular, responses
to SOS calls or other emergency services may
be unavailable or very limited. Vehicles
purchased outside the United States and
Canada are unable to receive SiriusXM
Guardian™ services.
If the SOS Call system detects a malfunction,
any of the following may occur at the time the
malfunction is detected:
- The light will continuously be illuminated red.
- The screen will display the following message
“Vehicle phone requires service. Please
contact your dealer.”
- An in-vehicle audio message will state
“Vehicle phone requires service. Please
contact your dealer.”
Even if the SOS Call system is fully functional,
factors beyond FCA US LLC’s control may
prevent or stop SOS Call system operation.
These include, but are not limited to, the
following factors:
- The ignition key is in OFF position.
- The vehicle’s electrical systems are not
intact.
- The vehicle battery loses power or becomes
disconnected during a vehicle crash.
- The SOS Call system software and/or hardware
is damaged during a vehicle crash.
- LTE (voice/data) or 3G or 4G (data) coverage
and/or GPS signals are unavailable or
obstructed.
- Network congestion.
- Weather conditions.
- Buildings, structures, geographic terrain, or
tunnels.
If your vehicle loses battery power for any
reason (including during or after an accident),
the SOS Call system, among other vehicle
systems, will not operate.

light will turn green indicating a call has
been placed.NOTE:
In case the SOS Call button is accidentally
pushed, there is a 10-second delay before
the SOS call is placed...

nearest service center and have the vehicle
serviced immediately...
For programming transmitters in Canada/
United States that require the transmitter
signals to “time-out” after several seconds of
transmission.
Canadian radio frequency laws require
transmitter signals to time-out (or quit) after
several seconds of transmission – which may
not be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up
the signal during programming...
