OperationVoice commands can be used to operate the
Uconnect™ Phone and to navigate through the
Uconnect™ Phone menu structure. Voice com-
mands are required after most Uconnect™
Phone 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 beep, which follows the “Ready”
prompt or another prompt.
• For certain operations, compound com-
mands can be used. For example, instead of
saying “Setup” and then “Phone Pairing”, the
following compound command can be said:
“Setup Phone Pairing”. •
For each feature explanation in this section,
only the compound form of the voice com-
mand is given. You can also break the com-
mands into parts and say each part of the
command when you are asked for it. For
example, you can use the compound form
voice command “Phonebook New Entry”, or
you can break the compound form com-
mand into two voice commands: “Phone-
book” and “New Entry”. Please remember,
the Uconnect™ Phone works best when you
talk in a normal conversational tone, as if
speaking to someone sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.
Voice Command Tree
Refer to “Voice Tree.”
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you
want to know your options at any prompt, say
“Help” following the beep. The Uconnect™
Phone will play all the options at any prompt if
you ask for help.
To activate the Uconnect™ Phone from idle,
simply press the
button and follow the
audible prompts for directions. All Uconnect™

interference from the cargo area prevents the
seatback from fully locking, you will have diffi-
culty returning the seat to its proper position.WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will
not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.
• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle
(with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or
folded down position) should not be used
as a play area by children when the vehicle
is in motion. They could be seriously in-
jured in a collision. Children should be
seated and using the proper restraint sys-
tem.

the outboard side of the seat, lean back and
release the lever at the desired position. To
return the seatback, lift the lever, lean forward
and release the lever.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that
the shoulder belt is no longer resting against
your chest. In a collision you could slide under
the seat belt, which could result in serious
injury or death.

Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving
your vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched, it

ing could result in serious injury or death.
LIGHTS
Headlight Switch
The headlight switch is located on the left side
of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel. The headlight switch controls the opera-
tion of the headlights, parking lights, instrument
panel lights, cargo lights and fog lights (if
equipped).To turn on the headlights, rotate
the headlight switch clockwise.
When the headlight switch is on
the parking lights, taillights, li-
cense plate light and instrument
panel lights are also turned on. To
turn off the headlights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (Off) position.
NOTE:
• Your vehicle is equipped with plastic
headlight and fog light (if equipped)
lenses that are lighter and less suscep-
tible to stone breakage than glass lights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass
and therefore different lens cleaning pro-
cedures must be followed.
• To minimize the possibility of scratching
the lenses and reducing light output,
avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove
road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution
followed by rinsing.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other abrasive materi-
als to clean the lenses.
Automatic Headlights — If EquippedThis system automatically turns the headlights
on or off according to ambient light levels. To
turn the system on, rotate the headlight switch
to the A (AUTO) position.
When the system is on, the Headlight Delay
feature is also on. This means the headlights
will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you turn
the ignition switch to the OFF position. To turn
the automatic headlights off, turn the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.

Ambient LightThe overhead console is equipped with an
ambient light feature. This light casts illumina-
tion for improved visibility of the floor center
console and PRNDL area.
Multifunction LeverThe multifunction lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
Turn SignalsMove the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster flash to show proper operation of the
front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash,
or there is a very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator
fails to light when the lever is moved, it
would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
Lane Change AssistTap the lever up or down once, without moving
beyond the detent, and the turn signal (right or
left) will flash three times then automatically turn
off.
Flash-To-PassYou can signal another vehicle with your head-
lights by partially pulling the multifunction lever
toward the steering wheel. This will cause the
high beam headlights to turn on until the lever
is released.

The windshield wiper/washer control lever is
located on the left side of the steering column.
The front wipers are operated by rotating a
switch, located on the end of the lever. For
information on the rear wiper/washer, refer to
“Rear Window Features” in “Understanding the
Features of Your Vehicle”.
Windshield Wiper OperationRotate the end of the lever to one of the first four
detent positions for intermittent settings, the
fifth detent for low wiper operation and the sixth
detent for high wiper operation.CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the “park” position. If the wind-
shield wiper switch is turned off, and the
blades cannot return to the “park” position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

Intermittent Wiper SystemUse one of the four intermittent wiper settings
when weather conditions make a single wiping
cycle, with a variable delay between cycles,
desirable. At driving speeds above 10 mph
(16 km/h), the delay can be regulated from a
maximum of approximately 18 seconds be-
tween cycles (first detent), to a cycle every one
second (fourth detent).NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph
(16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washer OperationTo use the washer, push on the end of the lever
(toward the steering wheel) and hold while
spray is desired. If the lever is pushed while in
the intermittent setting, the wipers will turn on
and operate for several wipe cycles after the
end of the lever is released, and then resume
the intermittent interval previously selected.If the end of the lever is pushed while the
wipers are in the off position, the wipers will
operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might not
see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield during freezing
weather, warm the windshield with the de-
froster before and during windshield washer
use.
