OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems. The following safety
features are standard on your vehicle:
²Three point lap and shoulder belts for all seating
positions.
²Pretensioning and load-limiting retractors for the front
seat belts.
²Advanced dual-stage driver and front passenger air-
bags.
²New active-vent front passenger airbags.
²Knee Bolsters/Blockers for front seat occupants.
²An energy absorbing steering column and steering
wheel.
²Supplemental seat side (Thorax) airbags.
²Supplemental front seat side mounted head airbags.
²Front seat belt retractors that incorporate pretension-
ers to enhance occupant protection by managing oc-
cupant energy during an impact event.
²All seat belt systems (except the driver's) include
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALRs), which lock the
seat belt webbing into position by extending the belt
all the way out and then adjusting the belt to the
desired length to restrain a child seat or secure a large
item in a seat.
If you will be carrying children too small for adult-size
seat belts, your seat belts or the LATCH feature also can
be used to hold infant and child restraint systems.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 39

²For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the UConnecttsystem a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.
²You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a
priority level between 1 and 7, with 1 being the highest
priority. You can pair up to seven cellular phones to
your UConnecttsystem. However, at any given time,
only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to
your UConnecttsystem. The priority allows the
UConnecttsystem to know which cellular phone to
use if multiple cellular phones are in the vehicle at the
same time. For example, if priority 3 and priority 5
phones are present in the vehicle, the UConnectt
system will use the priority 3 cellular phone when you
make a call. You can select to use a lower priority
cellular phone at any time (refer to9Advanced Phone
Connectivity9).
Dial by Saying a Number
²
Press the PHONE button to begin.
²After the9Ready9prompt and the following beep, say
9Dial.9
²The system will prompt you to say the number you
want to call.
²For example, you can say9234-567-8901.9The phone
number that you enter must be of valid length and
combination. Based on the country in which the ve-
hicle was purchased, the UConnecttsystem limits the
user from dialing an invalid combinations of numbers.
For example, in the U.S.A., 234-567-890 is nine digits
long, which is not a valid U.S.A. phone number - the
closest valid phone number has 10 digits.
²The UConnecttsystem will confirm the phone num-
ber and then dial. The number will appear in the
display of certain radios.

Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off
CAUTION!
²Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle's battery, even when not in
use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent engine starting.
²Accessories that draw higher power (i.e. coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.
²After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle's battery.
