2005 DODGE POWER WAGON display

The UConnect™system can be used with any Hands
Free Profile certified Bluetooth™cellular phone. If your
cellular phone has a different profile (i.e. headset profile),
you will not be able to use any UConnect™features.
The UConnect™system is fully integrated into your
vehicle, including your vehicle’s stereo system. All voiceprompts 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 UConnect™system can be controlled
through your normal stereo controls.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnect™system such as caller ID.
Operation
Voice commands can be used in the operation of the
UConnect™system and to navigate through the UCon-
nect™menu structure. Voice commands should be given
after each UConnect™system prompt. You will be
prompted for a specific command and then guided
through the available options. There are two ways to give
commands to the UConnect™system:
•You can sayDialat theReadyprompt. When
prompted for the phone number you wish to dial, say
the phone number (123 456 7890).

conditions.

Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO)
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset. This
display mode becomes less sensitive to instantaneous
changes in fuel consumption as the number of total
vehicle miles since the last reset increases. It is suggested
that this mode be reset periodically for general operation
or when driving conditions change significantly (for
example, at the end of a trip or when a trailer is
connected or disconnected).
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. The estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level.When Distance To Empty = 0, the fuel gauge pointer will
initially be on the red“E”marker. At this point (fuel
gauge pointer on the red“E”marker) there is reserve fuel
capacity, which corresponds to approximately 8% of tank
volume. This reserve capacity was put in place to prevent
the likelihood of customers running out of fuel when
operating at maximum load conditions in areas where
there aren’t many gas stations.
NOTE:The Distance To Empty will remain equal to
zero, until the vehicle runs out of fuel or is refueled.
Ram fuel tank volumes are as follows:
•34 gallons - short box models
•35 gallons - long box models

Trip Odometer (ODO)
This display shows the distance traveled since the last
reset.
Elapsed Time (ET)
This display shows the accumulated ignition ON time
since the last reset.
C/T Button
Use this button to select a readout of the outside tem-
perature and one of eight compass headings that indicate
the direction in which the vehicle is facing.
WARNING!
Even if the display still reads a few degrees above
32°F(0°C), 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
This compass is self-calibrating which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic and the CAL
symbol will be displayed.
After completing one 360°turn, with the vehicle traveling
less than 5 mph (8 km/h), in an area free from large metal
or metallic objects, the CAL symbol will turn off and the
compass will function normally.
Manual Compass Calibration
NOTE:To ensure proper compass calibration, make
sure the compass variance is properly set before manu-
ally calibrating the compass.
If the compass appears erratic and the CAL symbol does
not appear, you must manually put the compass into the
“Calibration”mode.

To Put Into a Calibration Mode
Turn on the ignition and set the display to“Compass/
Temperature.”Press and hold the RESET button to
change the display between VAR (compass variance) and
CAL (compass calibration) modes. When the CAL sym-
bol is displayed complete one 360 degree turn in an area
free from large metal objects or power lines. The CAL
symbol will turn off and the compass will function
normally.
Compass Varianceis the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. In some areas of the country,
the difference between magnetic and geographic north is
great enough to cause the compass to give false readings.
If this occurs, the compass variance must be set according
to the Compass Variance Map.
128 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

To set the variance: Turn the ignition ON and set the
display to“Compass/Temperature.”Press the RESET
button approximately five seconds. The last variance
zone number will be displayed. Press the STEP button to
select the new variance zone and press the RESET button
to resume normal operation.
Outside Temperature
Because the ambient temperature sensor is located un-
derhood, engine temperature can influence the displayed
temperature, therefore, temperature readings are slowly
updated when the vehicle speed is below 20 mph (30
km/h) or during stop and go driving.
