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.

and/or GPS signals are unavailable or
obstructed.
- Network congestion.

reason (including during or after an accident),
the SOS Call system, among other vehicle
systems, will not operate.
