Phonebook
• Uconnect Touch™ radios will automatically download your phonebook from your pairedphone, if this feature is supported by your phone. Entries are updated each time that the
phone is paired. If your phone book entries do not appear, check the settings on your
phone. Some phones require you to enable this feature manually.

• Favorite phonebook entries can be saved as Favorites for quicker access. Favorites are shown at the top of your main phone screen.
Voice Recognition Tips
• Use longer names that are less easily mistaken for others. For examples, say “Call JohnDoe” instead of “Call John”.
• You can “chain” commands together for faster results. Say “Call John Doe, mobile”, for example.
• You can “barge in” while the system is talking to you, enabling you to enter your response without waiting. Just press the Voice Command button on the steering wheel to barge in.
Changing The Volume
• Start a dialogue by pressing the Phone button, then say a command for example -
"Help".
• Use the radio ON/OFF VOLUME rotary knob to adjust the volume to a comfortable level while the Uconnect™ system is speaking. Please note the volume setting for
Uconnect™ is different than the audio system.
NOTE:To access help, press the Uconnect™ Phonebutton on the steering wheel and
say "help." Touch the display or push either
orbutton and say "cancel" to cancel
the help session.
SMS (Text Messaging)

AUTOSTICK®
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
• AutoStick® is a driver-interactivetransmission feature that offers manual
gear shifting to provide you with more
control of the vehicle. AutoStick® allows
you to maximize engine braking, and
improve overall vehicle performance.
• This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving,
cold slippery conditions, mountain driving,
trailer towing, and many other situations.
Operation
• When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the transmission will operate automatically,shifting between the five available gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply move the shift
lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the DRIVE position, or press one of the steering
wheel mounted shift paddles (+/-). When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission
gear is displayed in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the
instrument cluster. In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will shift when manually selected
by the driver (using the shift lever, or the shift paddles), unless an engine lugging or
overspeed condition would result. It will remain in the selected gear until another upshift
or downshift is chosen, except as described below:
• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick® is engaged. To disengage AutoStick® mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold the (+) shift paddle
until “D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of the
AutoStick® mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
• An “UPSHIFT” message will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument cluster when using AutoStick®, to alert the driver to
upshift to the next gear. The “UPSHIFT” message will appear when approaching the
maximum engine speed.

WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
• This vehicle may be equipped with an electronic controlled damping system. This systemreduces body roll and pitch in many driving situations including cornering, acceleration
and braking. There are three modes of operation:
Automatic (Auto) Mode
• This is the default position when vehicleignition is first turned on. This mode will
give a sporty, but comfortable ride. Within
this mode, the suspension will adapt to the
vehicle inputs, including vehicle speed,
steering inputs, braking, and acceleration.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in “Auto” mode, the transmission will automatically
shift up if maximum engine speed is
reached.
• Heavily pressing the accelerator pedal may generate an automatic downshift for improved acceleration.
• This mode should be used for most driving situations.
SPORTSport Mode
• This mode is driver selectable when the vehicle is placed in SPORT mode (press
the CONTROLS button and then the
SPORT button on the display screen).
This mode will set suspension for
maximum performance handling and is
intended for spirited driving.
• When SPORT mode is enabled, a flag will light up in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:The SPORT setting will provide a firmer ride.

Track Mode
• In track mode, the transmission has asportier, more aggressive shift pattern.
• This mode includes SPORT Suspension and affects transmission shifting in either
Auto or Manual mode.
• If AutoStick (console shifter or paddle shifters) is engaged while in “Track” mode,
the transmission will remain in the selected
gear even when maximum engine speed is
reached.
• Engine overspeed protection is achieved through fuel cut off at or near redline.
• This mode will provide aggressive shifting and is intended for spirited driving.
• The system will return to SPORT mode when the ignition switch is cycled from RUN to OFF, and back to RUN again, if this mode is selected.
