Fiat Chrysler is showing off four new services for Uconnect Access this week at CES.
“The Uconnect team is dedicated to delivering services and features that are innovative, functional and most of all easy to use,” explained Al Amici, who is the head of Global Uconnect System and Services. “We understand that our customers lead busy lifestyles and our goal is to minimize the everyday stresses by providing drivers with a variety of ways to stay conveniently connected to their vehicle.”
The Monthly Vehicle Heath Report comes—you guessed it—once a month in the form of an email, showing the driver the status of the most important systems within the vehicle. The service also indicates how to take care of any systems that are experiencing issues. Supplementing this service is the Vehicle Health Alert, which sends out an immediate email if a key component in the powertrain, brakes, suspension, oil and fluids, or the safety systems needs to be addressed.
Send Destination to Vehicle is accessed on the touchscreen and allows drivers to browse for destinations in the area, then receive navigation to those destinations. Vehicle Finder is used via the smartphone app and can pull up the precise location of a user’s vehicle in a parking lot.
