MIRRORS
AUTOMATIC DIMMING
MIRROR
This mirror automatically adjusts for
headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
NOTE:
This feature is disabled when the
vehicle is moving in reverse.CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror dur-
ing cleaning, never spray any clean-
ing solution directly onto the mirror.
Apply the solution onto a clean cloth
and wipe the mirror clean.OUTSIDE MIRRORS
To receive maximum benefit, adjust
the outside mirror(s) to center on the
adjacent lane of traffic and a slight
overlap of the view obtained from the
inside mirror.
NOTE:
The passenger side convex outside
mirror will give a much wider view
to the rear, and especially of the
lane next to your vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in
the passenger side convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too
much on your passenger side convex
mirror could cause you to collide
with another vehicle or other object.
Use your inside mirror when judging
the size or distance of a vehicle seen
in the passenger side convex mirror.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
FOLDING FEATURE
Vehicles are equipped with mirrors
that are hinged. The hinge allows the
mirror to pivot forward and rearward to resist damage. The hinge has three
detent positions: full forward, full
rearward and normal.
DRIVER'S AUTOMATIC
DIMMING MIRROR (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The driver’s outside mirror will auto-
matically adjust for glare from ve-
hicles behind you. This feature is con-
trolled by the inside automatic
dimming mirror and can be turned on
or off by pressing the button at the
base of the inside mirror. The mirror
will automatically adjust for head-
light glare when the inside mirror ad-
justs.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS WITH
TURN SIGNAL AND
APPROACH LIGHTING (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Driver and passenger outside mirrors
with turn signals located within the
mirror housing and approach lighting
located within mirror glass contain
five LEDs.
Automatic Dimming Mirror

Three of the LEDs are turn signal
indicators, which flash with the corre-
sponding turn signal lights in the
front and rear of the vehicle. Turning
on the Hazard Warning flashers will
also activate these LEDs.
The other two LEDs supply illumi-
nated entry lighting, which turns on
in both mirrors when you use the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter or open any door. These LEDs
shine outward to illuminate the front
and rear door handles. They also
shine downward to illuminate the
area in front of the doors.
The Illuminated Entry lighting fades
to off after about 30 seconds or it will
fade to off immediately once the igni-
tion is placed into the RUN position.
NOTE:
The approach lighting will not
function when the shift lever is
moved out of the PARK position.TILT MIRRORS IN
REVERSE (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Tilt Mirrors in Reverse provides auto-
matic outside mirror positioning
which will aid the driver’s view of the
ground rearward of the front doors.
The outside mirrors will move slightly
downward from the present position
when the vehicle is shifted into RE-
VERSE. The outside mirrors will then
return to the original position when
the vehicle is shifted out of the RE-
VERSE position. Each stored
memory setting will have an associ-
ated Tilt Mirrors in Reverse position.
NOTE:
The Tilt Mirrors in Reverse feature
can be turned on and off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.POWER MIRRORS
The power mirror controls are located
on the driver's door trim panel.
The power mirror controls consist of
mirror select buttons and a four-way
mirror control switch. To adjust a mir-
ror, press either the L (left) or R
(right) button to select the mirror that
you want to adjust.
NOTE:
A light in the select button will
illuminate indicating the mirror is
activated and can be adjusted.
Using the mirror control switch, press
on any of the four arrows for the di-
rection that you want the mirror to
move.

The BSM system is designed not to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls, foli-
age, berms, etc. However, occasion-
ally the system may alert on such ob-
jects. This is normal operation and
your vehicle does not require service.
The BSM system will not alert you of
objects that are traveling in the oppo-
site direction of the vehicle in adjacent
lanes.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is
only an aid to help detect objects in
the blind spot zones. The BSM sys-
tem is not designed to detect pedes-
trians, bicyclists, or animals. Even if
your vehicle is equipped with the
BSM system, always check your ve-
hicle's mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use your turn signal
before changing lanes. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or
death.
REAR CROSS PATH (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the drivers when
backing out of parking spaces where
their vision of oncoming vehicles may
be blocked. Proceed slowly and cau-
tiously out of the parking space until
the rear end of the vehicle is exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the
driver. RCP monitors the rear detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle, for
objects that are moving toward the
side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 1 km/h to
3 km/h, to objects moving a maxi-
mum of approximately 16 km/h, such
as in parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncom-
ing vehicles can be obscured by
vehicles parked on either side. If
the sensors are blocked by other
structures or vehicles, the system
will not be able to alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using
both the visual and audible alarms,
including reducing the radio volume.

WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It
is intended to be used to help a
driver detect an oncoming vehicle in
a parking lot situation. Drivers must
be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check care-
fully behind your vehicle, look be-
hind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
MODES OF OPERATION
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Uconnect Touch™
System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™
Settings” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion. Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected ob-
ject. However, when the system is op-
erating in RCP, the system will re-
spond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
Lights/Chime mode, the BSM system
will provide a visual alert in the ap-
propriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, and it corresponds to
an alert present on that side of the
vehicle, an audible chime will also be
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio (if on) volume will be reduced.NOTE:
 Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested by the BSM system, the
radio volume is reduced.
 If the hazard flashers are on, the system will request the appro-
priate visual alert only.
When the system is in RCP, the
system shall respond with both vi-
sual and audible alerts when a de-
tected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the
radio is also muted. Turn/hazard
signal status is ignored; the RCP
state always requests the audible
chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off,
there will be no visual or audible
alerts from either the BSM or RCP
systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the cur-
rent operating mode when the ve-
hicle is shut off. Each time the ve-
hicle is started, the previously
stored mode will be recalled and
used.

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 an accident
causing serious injury or death.
The Uconnect™ Phone is driven
through your Bluetooth® “Hands-
Free Profile” mobile phone.
Uconnect™ features Bluetooth®
technology - the global standard that
enables different electronic 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 briefcase), as long as
your phone is turned on and has been
paired to the vehicle's Uconnect™
Phone. The Uconnect™ Phone allows
up to ten mobile phones or audio de-
vices to be linked to the system. Only
one linked (or paired) mobile phone
and one audio device can be used with the system at a time. The system is
available in English, Spanish, or
French languages.
Uconnect™ Phone Button
The Uconnect™ Phone
Button is used to get into
the phone mode and make
calls, show recent, incom-
ing, outgoing calls, view phonebook
etc., When you press the button you
will hear a BEEP. The beep is your
signal to give a command.
Uconnect™ Voice Command Button The Uconnect™ Voice
Command
Button is
only used for “barge in”
and when you are already in
a call and you want to send Tones or
make another call.
The
button is also used to access
the Voice Commands for the
Uconnect™ Voice Command features
if your vehicle is equipped. Please see
the Uconnect™ Voice Command sec-
tion for direction on how to use the
button.
The Uconnect™ Phone is fully inte-
grated with the vehicle's audio sys- tem. The volume of the Uconnect™
Phone can be adjusted either from the
radio volume control knob or from the
steering wheel radio control (right
switch), if so equipped.
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. There
are two general methods for how
Voice Command works:
1. Say compound commands like
“Call John Smith mobile”.
2. Say the individual commands and
allow the system to guide you to com-
plete the task.
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 “Listen” prompt or an-
other prompt.

ment Panel” for further infor-
mation.
SMARTBEAM™
The SmartBeam™ system provides
increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mir-
ror. This camera detects vehicle spe-
cific light and automatically switches
from high beams to low beams until
the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
 SmartBeam™ can be turned on or off using the Uconnect
Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further infor-
mation.
 Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of ve-
hicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on
longer (closer to the vehicle).
Also, dirt, film, and other ob-
structions on the windshield or camera lens will cause the sys-
tem to function improperly.
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRLs)
DRLs come ON when the vehicle is
running and shifted out of park, the
headlights are OFF and the parking
brake is OFF. The headlight switch
must be used for normal nighttime
driving. 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.
NOTE:
Depending on your area's regula-
tions, DRLs may be able to be
turned on and off. The DRLs can
be turned on and off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information. ADAPTIVE BI-XENON
HIGH INTENSITY
DISCHARGE HEADLIGHTS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This system automatically swivels the
headlight beam pattern horizontally
to provide increased illumination in
the direction the vehicle is steering.
NOTE:
 Each time the Adaptive Head-
light System is turned on, the
headlights will initialize by per-
forming a brief sequence of rota-
tions.
 The Adaptive Headlight System is active only when the vehicle is
moving forward.
The Adaptive Headlight System
can be turned On or Off using the

NOTE:
 If either light remains on and
does not flash, or there is a very
fast flash rate, check for a defec-
tive outside light bulb. If an in-
dicator fails to light when the
lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defec-
tive.
 A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the EVIC (for
versions/markets, where pro-
vided) and a continuous chime
will sound if the vehicle is driven
more than 1.6 km with either
