slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down until
it is approximately 5 mm above the
fender. This should secure both hood
hinge reset mechanisms.WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning
Light in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood to
enhance pedestrian protection. If
the light does not come on as a bulb
check when the ignition is first
turned on, stays on after you start
the vehicle, or if it comes on as you
drive, see your authorized dealer.Modifications to any part of the
Active Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or cover.

WARNING!(Continued)
It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.
Do not attempt to modify any part
of your Active Hood system. The
Active Hood may deploy acciden-
tally or may not function properly
if modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any hood service.
Drivers must be aware of pedestri-
ans. Always be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other ve-
hicles, and obstructions. You are
responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)BeltAlert® is a feature intended to re-
mind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where provided
with front passenger BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts. The feature is
active whenever the ignition is on. If
the driver or front seat passenger is
unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will turn on and remain on until both
front seat belts are fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence be-
gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an in-
termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat-
belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to fasten their seat belts. If a
front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert® will provide both
audio and visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat or
when the seat is folded flat (for

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.

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.
