Headset Profile), you may not be able to use any UCon-
nect™features. Refer to your cellular service provider or
the phone manufacturer for details.
The UConnect™system is fully integrated with the
vehicle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect™
system can either be adjusted from the radio volume
control knob, or from the steering wheel radio control
(right switch), if so equipped.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnect™system such asCELLor caller ID on
certain radios.
Operations
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect™
system and to navigate through the UConnect™menu
structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnect™system prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided through the available
options.
•Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for
the voice on beep, which follows theReadyprompt
or another prompt.
•For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of sayingSetupand then
Phone Pairing,the following compound command
can be said:Setup Phone Pairing.
•For each feature explanation in this section, only the
combined form of the voice command is given. You
can also break the commands into parts and say each
part of the command, when you are asked for it. For
example, you can either use the combined form voice
commandPhonebook New Entry,or you can break
the combined form command into two voice com-
mands:PhonebookandNew Entry.Please remem-
ber, the UConnect™system works best when you talk
in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to some
one sitting eight feet away from you.

With the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by ESP and ERM are unavailable. In
an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESP and ERM
systems will not engage to assist in maintaining
stability. The“Full Off”ESP mode is intended for
off-highway or off-road use only.
4WD Low Range
Partial Off
This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD low
range. Whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD low range,
or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4WD
high range or neutral to 4WD low range, the ESP system
will be in this mode. In 4WD low range, ESP and TCS,
except for the“limited slip”feature described in the TCS

30 mph (48 km/h). At 30 mph (48 km/h), the normal ESP
stability function returns but TCS remains off. When the
vehicle speed drops below 25 mph (40 km/h), the ESP
system shuts off. ESP is off at low vehicle speeds in 4WD
low range so that it will not interfere with off-road
driving but ESP function returns to provide the stability
feature at speeds above 30 mph (48 km/h). TheESP/
TCS Indicator Lightwill always be illuminated in 4WD
low range when ESP is off.

running. In this mode, all ESP and TCS stability features
are turned off except for the“limited slip”feature de-
scribed in the TCS section. After 5 seconds, a chime will
sound, and the“ESP OFF”message will appear in theElectronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”in Sec-
tion 4 of this manual. (See page 187 for more informa-
tion.) To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the
“ESP Control Switch”. This will restore the normal“Par-
tial Off”mode of operation in 4wd low range.
NOTE:The“ESP OFF”message will display and the
audible chime will sound when the gear selector is
placed into the“P”(Park) position from any position
other than“P”(Park), and then moved out of the“P”
(Park) position. This will occur even if the message was
previously cleared.
