The rearview mirror contains the microphone for the
system and the control buttons that will enable you to
access the system. The diagram below shows the mirror
with the appropriate buttons. Individual button behavior
is discussed in the ªOperationº Section.The UConnectŸ system can be used with any Hands
Free Profile certified BluetoothŸ cellular phone. If your
cellular phone has a different profile (i.e. headset profile),
you will not be able to use any UConnectŸ features.
The UConnectŸ system is fully integrated into your
vehicle, including your vehicle's stereo system. All voice
prompts as well as the other party's voice in a conversa-
tion will be played over your vehicle's stereo system. The
volume of the UConnectŸ system can be controlled
through your normal stereo controls.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnectŸ system such as caller ID.

To Accelerate For Passing:
Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Speed Control On Hills
NOTE:The speed control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills
is normal.
Vehicles equipped with four speed automatic transaxles
may experience a downshift to 3rd gear while climbing
uphill or descending downhill. This downshift to 3rd
gear is necessary to maintain vehicle set speed.
On steep hills a greater speed loss or gain may occur so
it may be preferable to drive without speed control.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE Ð IF EQUIPPED
This feature has a compass/temperature display and two
map lamps. The overhead console is located on the
headliner between the sun visors.

32ÉF ( 0ÉC), the road surface may be icy, particularly
in woods or on bridges. Drive carefully under such
conditions to prevent an accident and possible per-
sonal injury or property damage.

Automatic Compass Calibration
The automatic calibrating feature of the compass elimi-
nates the need to calibrate the compass due to normal
varying conditions.
Compass Variance Selection
Variance is the difference between magnetic North and
geographic North. For proper compass function, the
correct variance zone must be set. Refer to the variance
map for the correct variance zone. To check the variance
zone, the ignition switch must be on and the compass/
temperature displayed. Press and hold the STEP button
for about 5 to 10 seconds until ZONE and the number
appears in the display. The number displayed is the
variance zone used by the compass. To change the zone,
press the STEP button to scroll through numbers 1
through 15.
When the correct variance is selected release the step
button and the Compass/Temperature display will re-
turn to normal after approximately 15 seconds.
106 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic, inaccurate, abnormal or
the vehicle is new, you may calibrate the compass. Prior
to calibrating the compass make sure the proper zone is
selected. Refer to ªMagnetic Zone Selectionº.Find an
open area away from large metal objects. With the vehicle
running, press and hold the STEP button for (about 10 to
15 seconds). The display will illuminate the CAL indica-
tor. Drive slowly (about 5 mph) in 3 complete 360 circles.
The CAL indicator will turn off and the compass will be
calibrated.
NOTE:
²The compass needs to go through a manual calibration
to insure proper operation when taking vehicle deliv-
ery.
²The STEP button must be pressed for 10 to 15 seconds
to place the compass into CAL mode. Regardless of
whether the CAL indicator is already illuminated.
Outside Temperature
Because engine temperature can increase the displayed
temperature, temperature readings are not updated
when the vehicle is not moving.
If the display shows249ÉF (245ÉC) or 140ÉF (60ÉC), see
your authorized dealer for repair.
