• HomeLink®replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such
as garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems. The
HomeLink
®unit is powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
• The HomeLink
®buttons that are located in the overhead console or sunvisor
designate the three different HomeLink®channels.

WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programmingthe universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are
in the path of the door or gate.
•
Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming
the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and
can cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.
POWER INVERTER
• There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet located on the back of
the center console. This outlet can
power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts.
Uconnect Touch™ 4.3 System • Press the More hard-key (located next to the Uconnect Touch™ screen).
• Press the Outlet soft-key to turn the power inverter On or Off.
Uconnect Touch™ 8.4 System •
Press the Controls soft-key (located at the bottom of the Uconnect Touch™ screen).
• Press the Outlet soft-key to turn the power inverter On or Off.
NOTE: The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If the power
rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once
the electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should
automatically reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power
inverter may have to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the
device and plug it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on
electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death: Do not use a three-prong adaptor. Do not
insert any objects into the receptacles. Do not touch with wet hands. Close the
lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock
and failure.

24-HOUR TOWING ASSISTANCE
• Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779 or 1-800-363-4869 for Canadian residents.
• Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license plate number.
• Provide your location, including telephone number, from which you are calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival.If you feel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know. With your consent,
we will contact local police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Indicator Light
• If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle aspossible. While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving
to the prevailing road conditions. To improve the vehicle's traction when starting
off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC system off.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when coldand inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD
OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. NOTE: AFTER
INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE
FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
