WARNING!
²Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or
attempt to manually open them. You may damage the airbags
and you could be injured because the airbags are no longer
functional. These protective covers for the airbag cushions
are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
²If your vehicle is equipped with side curtain airbags, do not
stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the
location of the side curtain airbag. The area where the side
curtain airbag is located should remain free from any ob-
structions.
²If your vehicle is equipped with side curtain airbags, do not
have any accessory items installed which will alter the roof,
including adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof
racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws)
for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof
of the vehicle for any reason.
²Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee bolster in any way.
²Do not mount any accessories to the knee bolster such as
alarm lights, stereos, citizens band radios etc.
NOTE:Do not use a clothing bar mounted to the coat
hooks in this vehicle. A clothing bar will impede the
proper performance of the curtain airbags.
Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the
instrument panel knee bolsters to provide improved
protection for the driver and front passenger. Side Cur-
tain Airbags also work with seat belts to improve occu-
pant protection.
The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types
of collisions. The front airbags deploy in moderate to
severe frontal collisions.
If your vehicle is so equipped, the Side Curtain Airbag on
the crash side of the vehicle is triggered in moderate to
severe side collisions. However, even in collisions where
the airbags deploy, you need the seat belts to keep you in
the correct position for the airbags to protect you prop-
erly.

The UConnectŸ system can be used with any Hands-
Free Profile certified BluetoothŸ cellular phone. See
www.chrysler.com/uconnect for supported phones. If
your cellular phone supports a different profile (e.g.,
Headset Profile), you may not be able to use any UCon-
nectŸ features. Refer to your cellular service provider or
the phone manufacturer for details.
The UConnectŸ system is fully integrated with the
vehicle's audio system. The volume of the UConnectŸ
system can be adjusted either 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 UConnectŸ system such as9CELL9or caller ID on
certain radios.Operations
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnectŸ
system and to navigate through the UConnectŸ menu
structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnectŸ system prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided through the available
options.
²Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for
the voice on beep, which follows the9Ready9prompt
or another prompt.
²For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying9Setup9and then
9Phone Pairing,9the following compound command
can be said:9Setup Phone Pairing.9
