WARNING!(Continued)
Allowing children to be in a ve-
hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the
ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN
position. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove key from the
ignition and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
KEY-IN-IGNITION
REMINDER
Opening the driver's door when the
key is in the ignition sounds a signal to
remind you to remove the key. NOTE:
The Key-In-Ignition reminder
only sounds when the ignition
key is placed in the LOCK or
ACC position.
With either/both front doors open and a key in the ignition,
the power door lock buttons on
the interior trim panel are dis-
abled. This is an attempt to limit
locking the keys in the vehicle.
LOCKING THE DOORS
WITH THE KEY
There is only one external door lock
cylinder which is located in the driv-
er's door.
You can insert the key with either side
up. To lock the door, turn the key
clockwise. To unlock the door, turn
the key counterclockwise. For door
lock lubrication, see “Maintenance
Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” of this manual.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle opera-
tion by disabling the engine. The sys- tem does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic, re-
gardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses ignition keys which
have an embedded electronic chip
(transponder) to prevent unauthor-
ized vehicle operation. Therefore,
only keys that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and oper-
ate the vehicle. The system will shut
the engine off in two seconds if some-
one uses an invalid key to start the
engine.
NOTE:
A key which has not been pro-
grammed is also considered an in-
valid key, even if it is cut to fit the
ignition switch lock cylinder for
that vehicle.
During normal operation, after turn-
ing on the ignition switch, the Vehicle
Security Light will turn on for three
seconds for a bulb check. If the light
remains on after the bulb check, it
indicates that there is a problem with
the electronics. In addition, if the light
begins to flash after the bulb check, it

number with your mobile phone* us-
ing simple voice commands (e.g.,
“Call”…“Jim”… “Work” or
“Dial”…“151-1234 -5555”). Your
mobile phone's audio is transmitted
through your vehicle's audio system;
the system will automatically mute
your radio when using the

transfer calls between the Uconnect™
Phone and your mobile phone as you
enter or exit your vehicle and enables
you to mute the Uconnect™ Phone's
microphone for private conversation.The Uconnect™ Phone is driven
through your Bluetooth® “Hands-
Free profile” mobile phone.
Uconnect™ Phone features
Bluetooth® technology - the global
standard that enables different elec-
tronic devices to connect to each other
without wires or a docking station, so
Uconnect™ Phone works no matter
where you stow your mobile phone
(be it your purse, pocket, or brief-
case), as long as your phone is turned
on and has been paired to the vehicle's
Uconnect™ Phone. The Uconnect™
Phone allows up to seven mobile
phones to be linked to the system.
Only one linked (or paired) mobile
phone can be used with the
Uconnect™ Phone at a time. The
Uconnect™ Phone is available in
English, Dutch, French, German,
Italian or Spanish languages (as
equipped).
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following local laws and
phone use. All attention should be
kept on the roadway ahead. Failure
to do so may result in a collision
causing serious injury or death.

controls will contain the
two control buttons
(Uconnect™ Phonebutton and Voice Commandbutton) that will enable you to access
the system. When you press the but-
ton you will hear the word

Voice Command ButtonActual button location may
vary with radio. The indi-
vidual buttons are de-
scribed in the “Operation”
section.
The Uconnect™ Phone can be used
with Hands-Free Profile certified
Bluetooth® mobile phones. Some

certain radios. COMPATIBLE PHONES
* The Uconnect™ Phone requires
a mobile phone equipped with the
Bluetooth® “Hands-Free Profile”,

OPERATION
Voice commands can be used to oper-
ate 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 an-
other prompt. For certain operations, compound
commands can be used. For ex-
ample, instead of saying “Setup”
and then “Phone Pairing”, the fol-
lowing compound command can be
said: “Setup Phone Pairing”.
For each feature explanation in this section, only the compound form of
the voice command is given. You
can also break the commands into
parts and say each part of the com-
mand when you are asked for it.
For example, you can use the com-
pound form voice command
“Phonebook New Entry”, or you
can break the compound form
command into two voice com-
mands: “Phonebook” and “New
Entry”. Please remember, the
Uconnect™ Phone works best
when you talk in a normal conver-
sational tone, as if speaking to
someone sitting a few meters away
from you.
