Three-Way CallingTo initiate three-way calling, press the VOICE RECOG-
NITION button while a call is in progress, and make a
second phone call, as described under
9Making a Second
Call While Current Call is in Progress.9 After the second
call has established, press and hold the PHONE button
until you hear a double beep, indicating that the two calls
have been joined into one conference call.
Call Termination
To end a call in progress, momentarily press the PHONE
button. Only the active call(s) will be terminated and if
there is a call on hold, it will become the new active call.
If the active call is terminated by the far end, a call on
hold may not become active automatically. This is cell
phone-dependent. To bring the call back from hold, press
and hold the PHONE button until you hear a single beep.
Redial

Press the PHONE button to begin.
After the 9Ready9prompt and the following beep, say
9Redial.9
The uconnectt phone will call the last number that
was dialed from your cellular phone.
NOTE: This may not be the last number dialed from the
uconnectt phone.
Call Continuation
Call continuation is the progression of a phone call on the
uconnectt phone after the vehicle ignition key has been
switched to OFF. Call continuation functionality avail-
able on the vehicle can be any one of three types:
After the ignition key is switched to OFF, a call can
continue on the uconnectt phone either until the call
ends, or until the vehicle battery condition dictates
cessation of the call on the uconnectt phone and
transfer of the call to the cellular phone.

Phone and Network Status IndicatorsIf available on the radio and/or on a premium display
such as the instrument panel cluster, and supported by
your cellular phone, the uconnectt
phone will provide
notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using uconnectt phone. The status is given for roaming,
network signal strength, phone battery strength, etc.
Dialing Using the Cellular Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your cellular phone
keypad and still use the uconnectt phone (while dialing
via the cellular phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired Bluetootht cellular
phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The uconnectt phone will work the same
as if you dial the number using voice recognition. NOTE:
Certain brands of cellular phones do not send
the dial ring to the uconnectt phone to play it on the
vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it. Under this
situation, after successfully dialing a number the user
may feel that the call did not go through even though the
call is in progress. Once your call is answered, you will
hear the audio.
Mute/Un-Mute (Mute OFF)
When you mute the uconnectt phone, you will still be
able to hear the conversation coming from the other
party, but the other party will not be able to hear you. In
order to mute the uconnectt phone:
Press the VOICE RECOGNITION button.
Following the beep, say9Mute.9
In order to un-mute the uconnectt phone:
Press the VOICE RECOGNITION button.
Following the beep, say9Mute off.9

Daytime Running Lights (Canada/Fleet Vehicles
Only)The headlights on your vehicle will illuminate when the
engine is started and the transmission is in any gear
except PARK. This provides a constant lights on condi-
tion until the ignition is turned OFF. The lights illuminate
at less than 50% of normal intensity. If the parking brake
is applied, the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) will turn
off. Also, if a turn signal is activated, the DRL lamp on the
same side of the vehicle will turn off for the duration of
the turn signal activation. Once the turn signal is no
longer active, the DRL lamp will illuminate.
Front Fog Lights — If Equipped
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking
lights or the low beam headlights and push in the
headlight switch control knob. Pressing the head-
light switch control knob in a second time will turn the
front fog lights off.
Battery Protection
This feature provides battery protection to avoid wearing
down the battery if the headlights, parking lights, or
front fog lights are left on for extended periods of time
when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position. After
eight minutes of the ignition switch being in the LOCK
position and the headlight switch in any position other
than OFF or AUTO, the lights will turn off automatically
until the next cycle of the ignition switch or headlight
switch.
The battery protection feature will be disabled if the
ignition switch is turned to any other position other than
LOCK during the three minute delay. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 181

Programming HomelinkT
Before Y
ou Begin
If you have not trained any of the HomeLinkt buttons,
erase all channels before you begin training.
To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for up
to 20 seconds until the red indicator flashes.
It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed
to HomeLinkt for more efficient training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage
when programming.
Begin Programming
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Hold the battery side of the hand-held transmitter
away from the HomeLinkt button you wish to program. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away
from the HomeLinkt
button you wish to program while
keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen
HomeLinkt button and the hand-held transmitter button
until the HomeLinkt indicator changes from a slow to a
rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLinkt
and hand-held transmitter buttons.
Watch for the HomeLinkt indicator to change flash rates.
When it changes, it is programmed. It may take up to
30 seconds, or longer in rare cases. The garage door may
open and close while you train.
NOTE:
Some gate operators and garage door openers may
require you to replace Step 3 with procedures noted in
the “Gate Operator/Canadian Programming” section.

Troubleshooting TipsIf you are having trouble programming HomeLinkt, here
are some of the most common solutions:
Replace the battery in the original transmitter.
Press the “Learn” button on the Garage Door Opener
to complete the training for a Rolling Code.

to plug it back in?

Auto-Express with Anti-Pinch ProtectionDuring express closing, anytime an obstacle that restricts
glass movement is detected, the motor will stop and
reverse travel to avoid pinching the object.
Auto Express will stop and reverse travel up to three
times in succession. After the third time, Auto Express
will enter a manual operation mode. This allows the
operator to manually control the power switch, in order
to close or open the sunroof in case of a malfunction.
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain
open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur-
rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with
the rear windows open, open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs
with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to
minimize the buffeting or open any window.
Sunroof Maintenance
Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean
the glass panel.
ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS — IF EQUIPPED
Two 12-Volt power outlets are located on the lower
instrument panel, next to the open storage bin. The upper
power outlet is controlled by the ignition switch and the
lower power outlet is connected directly to the battery.
The upper power outlet will also operate a conventional
cigar lighter unit (if equipped with an optional Smoker’s
Package). To ensure proper operation, a MOPARt
cigar
knob and element must be used.
